Would you order from here?

I'm not them. If I were I would let you know. I do not breed mice, chickens, or ducks. In fact I do not have chickens or ducks as of right now. I do have rabbits and mice but to pin me as them for simply having them is funny. Why not ask me who I am instead of accusing me? That would be nice.

My grammar is not very good but for all you know it is not my first language. I do my best but I have never been good at English.

I voiced my opinion just like everyone else. I find it a poor quality to talk about people behind their backs. If you have a problem with what they are selling do not by it, but why not just email them if you are serious about ordering? Find out about the animals straight from the source. Ask for pictures and where the chickens came from. Unless you already know.

This forum can be read by the whole world. It's not talking behind their backs when the world, including the alleged "breeder", can read it.

The OP asked for opinions and got them. Most were negative, because the website is poorly constructed and the breeding practices appear to be sloppy. And not spelling the breeds correctly? Red flag.

I did ask if you were them. If you aren't that's fine....even if you are it's fine.

You will find that when someone asks for an opinion on BYC about something you will hear opinions...both positive and negative.

Voicing an opinion about a public website is not talking behind their back. They put a very poor website out there for the world to see which opens them up to feedback.

They didn't even take the time to find out how to spell the breeds correctly for crying out loud!! To not even spell the breeds correctly is a huge red flag for me.

Would I ever recommend that site to anyone...heck no!!

OOPS! Sorry. POL or point of lay, means a hen just about old enough to start laying eggs. It varies, but usually from 16 to 20 weeks old.

Yep ranchie is right....actually a very common poultry term.

We have raised poultry for about 10 yrs and this is the first time I have ever heard that term. See you do learn something new everyday

Thanks.

I actually kinda liked their site. I thought their prices seemed really reasonable for the way they are selling as well. You get what you pay for kind of thing.
It did make me think of that commercial, "Is running your business getting in the way of running your business?"
Some people that are about the best of the best at doing what they do should never attempt to handle the "other" end of running their business. They don't know the right way to word things, what to charge, or even how to talk to people in person (I have a brother that is just like that!), etc.
My opinion, for what its worth, is I would give them a try if you don't mind the mixed breeds, at those prices (2-3 a dozen!), you can't really lose much, and you may be pleasantly surprised! I personally wouldn't use them as I don't really desire mixed breeds.
