Where's the gold?

[farrier!]

We have had a lot of trouble getting live healthy chicks delivered. My first ones were 5 days in the mail.....replacements were wrong breed (Hamburgs) and a week earlier then stated and 4 days in the mail. The second batch of replacements arrived on time, and only 3 days in the mail and healthy..

I keep waiting for my Golden Lakenvelders to turn Golden.
Here is what the first ones all look like now:

Do I call Welp hatcheries again....sigh..... or just give up because I waited so long to decide they just are not what we ordered?

 

[farrier!]

Well.....I called Welp and looked hard at the replacements. The replacement chicks do have gold.
So......out of 3 shipments I received the incorrect breed twice....

I might finally get my Golden Lakenvelders at the end of June.

Anyone want some nice young Silver Lakenvelders?

They sure are cute! If wasn't in Alabama, I would so take them! And yes they should be gold by now . . .

Sorry that happened to you, but if I were you I would order from IDEAL POULTRY. I never have and doubt I ever will hear a bad thing about them, and their cheap and have great customer service. They actually care about your satisfaction.

how many? Are they Hens?? How far are you from Joliet, I'd take one or two!

 

[farrier!]

I have 3 soon to be roos and the rest are pullets.
I am a long ways from Joliet but sometime in the near future I need to drive north of there to empty out my friends storage unit.

I was getting set up for 2-4 breeds of chickens. With this many Silver Lakenvelders and the Gold ones coming I am out of room before the chicken house is even built!

If you still need to unload a pullet or too when you're coming up north, I
d take some! If you aren't coming this far, I can even meet you between here and where you are. Let me know!
