I need a break. Some people are absolutely DRAINING on my soul. Most people who know or have met me know that I try my best to help everyone to the best of my ability with everything chicken. But, Sweet Baby Jesus, some people just don't get it.

DO NOT BE RUDE. There is nothing that annoys me more than entitled people and know-it-alls, especially if I've never even met or done business with you before. If you come at me demanding that I only send "the darkest" Marans eggs that are color coded 8-9s and then guarantee that the chicks will grow to lay 8-9s, you will be blocked. Plan and simple. Go somewhere else. You obviously know nothing about how Marans egg color works and I don't need the furture headache.

NO ONE has permission to use my photos, especially not to promote their own birds. If you call yourself a breeder, use the photos of YOUR breeding birds and the chicks that YOU produced. "I found it on Google" is not an excuse. Where the hell do you think Google pulled the photo from? You have been warned. I have politely sent emails to these "breeders" to remove my photos. If you're going to use someone else's hard work, give credit where credit is due. And, if your birds did not come from my stock, you absolutely have no right associating my photos with your operation. I really do not want to start putting people on blast online, but I will. Even watermarking photos doesn't work anymore.

I apologize to everyone who was supposed to pick up today! I was rear-ended on my way home from work and of course, the driver had no license, no insurance, and no registration 🤬🤬🤬. Took me a while to get home. So please help me pay this insurance deductible by buying more chicks 😬😆😭.
