I have a real interest in the world of online pet supply sales.  As a brick and mortar store pet store owner, I have watched with concern as online sales have continued to grow.  I do have a long term vision of success for our store but the next few years could be rocky.  This news gives me some hope that there are other companies realizing that it isn’t going to work to try to get all the business.  Sometimes it is best to do better with a smaller market.  Everyone is happier.

Shameless plug: We carry Nutri-Source dogfood.

Quote from the Press release linked below.

“While e-commerce sales have grown significantly over the past few years and will continue to grow – and no company can ignore this channel – it is our strong intent to continue with our current marketing plan focused on the independent specialty retailers and family owned businesses.  In line with this we have made the decision to part ways with Chewy at this time”

Pre-Order your Production Red Pullets

The Chestnut Feedery is opening up pre-orders for our wonderful Production Red Pullets ($9 per bird). These young adult female brown egg layers will come ready to lay eggs for you within 4-5 weeks. Skip all the hassle of raising the little chicks only to find out that 6 out of 10 of them are roosters. Pre-order your pullets now to reserve and pay for them when you pick them up in the middle of May. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call.

Random facts
*These sex linked pullets are the offspring of a Rhode Island rooster and an egg laying type White Rock hen.
*My pullets have laid one egg a day for months at a time..
*We also offer a pickup location in Dubois, PA if you are able to meet us in the afternoon.

World Record Bird

This is a cute article on the bird that holds the world record for the most words. Here is a clip.
“on Christmas morning, 1993 Puck was entertaining himself on the coffee table in the living room when Camille and her husband heard him say: “It’s Christmas. That’s what’s happening. That’s what it’s all about. I love Pucky. I love everyone.”

Most Common Phrase

“I had no idea you had so much in this store!”
 
This has to be the most often repeated phrase by new customers.  I think that the outside of our store is a bit lackluster and dull.  That is not where the action is.  Come on inside and see the 5 cockatiels chirp at you or pet the baby bunnies.  We have a little room in the back where various reptiles hang out.

Seresto Collars are In

We just got a large shipment of Seresto collars.  We got these collars on a special so we are passing the savings on to you.  Seresto collars sell themselves.  We don’t have to tell customers how good they are.  We don’t have to explain the benefits.  I had a customer this morning tell me that she uses a Seresto collar for ticks and the dogs not longer get them.

$54.99 per collar all sizes.
