Hi Everyone why is it there are some people in this world have nothing better to do but upset others. Yesterday a lady from Denmark contacted me about purchasing some fertile Barnevelder eggs. I was able to help her out and send them off next Monday. I get a text from her today telling me that someone from Rolystone was on chooknet and bagged they quality of my chooks. I have not met this person only spoke to them on the phone when they wanted to purchase eggs from me some time ago. I must be doing something right if I came 3rd in my class at the Perth royal. Why do people carry on in this way? It's petty and silly. Cheers to you all Linda

Unfortunately, the internet has opened the floodgates to the asylum and all the idiots have poured out! And with little or no accountability, it's so easy to pile it on someone you haven't even met. I find the "tyre-kickers" more annoying, especially when you answer their extended list of questions for weeks, organise a day for the drop-off of the chooks ---- and they don't show up and are never heard from again. It's happened twice to me. It has really sucked the joy out of breeding my own.

HI Guys NEVER let them get you down at the end of the day there the ones that have missed out on great chooks you should take the time to drive and have a look at the stock you wish to purchase if its not interstate you will always get the stupid ones that have to listen to others and not make a judgement of there own Good luck Trev

Linda,
I am on Chooknet all the time. I have not come across anyone "bagging" the quality of your chooks, nor anyone's chooks. I say this person is just upset at something and is taking it out on you because he/she can.
I wouldn't worry about it. It's not something you can control anyway.

That upsets me that anyone could be so uninformed and accept others opinion with no questions asked . I think almost without exception the people on this site do nothing but try to produce the healthiest and best breed stock they can . Take it with a pinch of salt .We know you have great stock and winning birds ...Its their loss I must say I have come across some Jealousy occasionally out there. but there is room for all.

It's unfortunate that there is the odd person out there that just loves to upset people to make themselves feel important/empowered it all comes back to them eventually maybe not straight away but eventually. most of us know how much effort you have done to improve your chooks, have a goal and stick to it don't worry about that odd person.

Thanking all for making me feel better. I did feel squashed by this mans comment. The lady from Denmark has disregarded his bagging email of me and is interested in the eggs. I have sent her photos to reassure her and as we all love our poultry on this site and we have the best of interest and wellbeing of our chickens over financial gain anyday. Thanks Linda

Linda as hard as it is to do and as hurtful as it is just remember it is their problem and their loss. Don't let them get to you. Trev is right , someone wishing to purchase should go and have a look at the breed of chicken they are after and their conditions. I recently drove 3.10hrs just to collect some fertile eggs. While I was there I looked at the breeding/living conditions of the chickens this lady had. DH said those eggs were very expensive chickens as he said each egg had cost him just over $40 each. Only 4 hatched as well.
I was very pleased just the same and would do it again.
Kitty
