jackiet Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Have to ask this as I am very curious - a colleague where I work ordered and received an eglu and three girls, but sadly for a variety of reasons it didn't work out and she took Omlet up on the 30-day return offer. They duly came and took back the eglu etc and chickens. What happens to them then? Do the chickens get delivered with eglu to the next person on the list?

Christian Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Pretty sure they go back to HQ and put back with the others chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Pretty sure they go back to HQ and put back with the others chickens. Im not sure about Omlets policy,but if the returned birds had picked something up from their previous owner-they would pass it straight onto rest of flock on their return.Breeders round here cull returned birds for excally this reason.

Gallina Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I would not be pleased if I found out that I was sent chickens that had been returned by an earlier owner -- I am sure that Omlet wouldn't do this. This is probably why James keeps them himself (the only alternative being to kill them). He is one of the two co-founders of Omlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Johannes sent this to reassure you all we keep them seperate from the other hens and providing they are healthy we offer them to people who are collecting from Omlet as they are usually a bit older so likely to lay sooner. If they are poorly then they go in the hospital cube until they recover. They then either get adopted by someone who works at Omlet or would be sold to someone local who wants a few more hens. Great isn't it Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
