We bought 3 cayuga hatchlings in the spring. They were to arrive in May. But the farm had issues. So our hatchlings arrived in July. To make up for the delay the owner gave us 7 hatchlings. What a blessing. In the end it all worked out. But better communication throughout the process would have been appreciated.
