I am the one that replied to you via craigslist.
I am so so sorry, my silkie deal fell thru, the guy is taking what he has left of them to the Madison Nebraska exotic animal auction tomorrow, Sunday.
I am so heartbroken, we had talked last weekend and left it we would meet up sometime at his leisure, whenever he could and I was to buy all 15 of his birds. Today I called him to see what was up, andwhen he could get together and he told me it was an awful long trip for one bird. I was flabbergasted, and confused. He had asked if I wanted them and I had emailed him saying most definitely and also talked via phone on Sunday telling him I wanted ALL fifteen at a price he set. He said I sure sounded confused...I was confused, I was supposed to buy all 15 of his silkies and showgirls. Not only was I confused, I was livid mad.
He had everything he had left packed up for the sale tomorrow but only had 5 left as he had sold everything without even letting me know.
I got off the phone and cried and cried, it has NOT been my day. I am so heartbroken, I wanted to pick them up back in December and the guy wanted me to wait "so the chicks had less stress" he said. I should have known then! I had pics of them and felt like they were mine already!
I am very hurt, upset, mad....you name it!
On the good side, I have a friend with EE's, so if you havent found anyone to get eggs from and you come to Lincoln/Seward or this way sometime, let me know ahead of time so she can start collecting, I think she only has 4 EE hens.
Glad to see you are a member on here!
Oh and I do have a VERY nice quality black silkie boy that is a youngun. If I can find a pretty girl to pair him with.
