ahhhhhhh cutie pies

[Falkor]

They are gorgeous!

 

I have Orp envy and I have orps and orpidottes! What is that about!

[Cooks]

your orp greedy that's what that is...

[quickcluck]

I am feeling a tad bad, as it's not what we went for, but we had to have one of each!

[Falkor]

As long has you have the room then why not I say!!! I want an Orp of every colour but think I will have to move house first!

[Chickvic]

Great pics

[Budgies]

They're beautiful quickcluck, really lovely. Must be lovely to have them after all the worry of the Wernlas thing.

 

What did you have on order from them incidentally?

[Space Chick]

They are beautiful girls

[quickcluck]

I had a Barnevelder, SL Wyandotte, buff and speckled sussex, want them Are you near there???

[Budgies]

I've got mine on order from them and wondered if we had ordered any of the same chookies! I have a Barnie on order too, a Light Sussex and an Olive.

 

Sorry that didn't work out for you hon, but your newbies are gorgeous.

 

Shame I didn't order mine at the same time - i could have picked yours up too when mine are ready!!

[quickcluck]

I am sure you will have a better experience.... It's just that that oldest are 24weeks now and would be harder to tame etc, and they couldn't give us any idea when they would be coming, they'd been saying 'soon' for a month......

[keyhole kate]

Gorgeous girlies

[Redwing]

They are little stunners congratulations!

 

What did Wernlas say when yo told them you didnt want your order anymore?

[quickcluck]

Tasha, Nick has got to do that tomorrow

 

I really hope that they are OK about it, the worst that can happen is the will not return our deposit. But I hope they understand as we've been waiting soooooooooo long....

 

sooooo

[cluckbok]

Awww soooo lovely, lovely pics! love the Splash! I want one!!

[bigmommasally]

Wow Lovely girls Kay. They are so cute. So pleased you got some sorted.

Has Nick done the dreaded phone call yet?

[quickcluck]

He has!!! Mr Wernlas, not a happy chappy Will not refund the deposit But not sure how long they were expecting us to wait. they didn't ask why we were cancelling

 

The girls are lovely. they had some corn today, but still kept their distance.... small steps though they will be very friendly girls I am sure.

 

Does yours cope the the cube ladder ok???

[bigmommasally]

He has!!! Mr Wernlas, not a happy chappy

 

Oh dear - How do they long do they expect their customers to wait for? I think they are being unreasonable not refunding your deposit they haven't kept their side of the arrangement - they are the ones that failed to deliver, whether it was the couriers or not it is still them you made the contract with. I'd be pushing for my deposit back.

 

My Orp copes okay with the ladder, as well as any of my other girls.

[quickcluck]

We have taken the eglu off of the little table for now, when they are a bit more confident we'll put it back in, then it has a cube ladder attached to it.

 

Will wait a week or so, do you think that will be enough?

[Cooks]

personally I think it's very unreasonable for them to not return your deposit, it's not your fault they kept delaying your delivery and you got fed up enough to look elsewhere (which I would have done AGES ago)

I would push for the deposit back myself, otherwise I would talk to Trading Standards or is it Susumer Standards now I forget.. :Unless the deposit is a small amount then just forget it and dont go there again.

[quickcluck]

Deposit was £30

 

I am a complete wuss when it comes to this sort of thing

[Falkor]

Shame about the deposit but I spose it depends on the terms agreed as to whether you are able to get it back.

 

Glad to hear the little ladies are settling in.......you may find the best way to get the girls to use the ladder is to let them go to bed as normal and then lift the eglu and add the ladder (strong people required!) that way they will wake up and be faced with the ladder. Knowing Orps they will just assume that it has always been like that and get on with it!

 

PS......more pics please!!!! Still waiting to see Splash in all her glory

[quickcluck]

Hmmmmmmm might be a little job for later, just happen to have a new camera
