Update 9/20/16: The store management is taking our issue much more seriously than the employees we dealt with. The breeder & their vet visited us today at our house to see our flock. To their credit, theyre providing medicine and trying to make this right. While this whole thing has been frustrating, I appreciate the effort and am bumping up my review to 3 stars while we work on this. Original post: DO NOT BUY BIRDS HERE. We purchased two pullets to expand our backyard flock. It should have been a warning sign when the salesperson didnt know the breeds of the birds. After we got the pullets home we noticed one was sneezing. The store did refund our purchase but dismissed the birds illness as "allergies" to my wife. It was not allergies- the rest of the chickens in my flock are all now sick, theyve all stopped laying and have nasal discharge. Im hoping I can save them with antibiotics, but may have to cull them. Im incredibly disappointed in the lack of seriousness with which the staff treated this issue. These people should not be selling birds.

If you want to get a chicken coup or a bird dont waste your time here. We saw 3 black runners and asked a older lady at the front register to hold them for us and came back literally the next day around noon and they were gone. I dont know if the staff just doesnt care or what. Then we bought a chicken coup that they said would fit 3 ducks but really the actual coup that they would need to be inside of for the winter only holds one duck because its 2 square feet only and we wanted to return it but they couldnt do that for us after we called and asked if they could and they said "yes we can figure something out for you" right before showing up with our coup and having to unload it and load it at the house and at the store before they told us they cant get in contact with the owner to ask about refunds... I think they should know by now if they accept refunds or not.. Or if they were uncertain then dont tell me you can refund it if you cant even stand by your word. Waste of $200 and time. Id only buy bird food here.

After losing 7 of our 13 chickens we purchased from Wardles I had a necropsy done and it was confirmed that it died from Mareks disease. This is our first go at chickens so I am assuming our chickens came home with this disease. Not only has it been a financial loss but also hard for our children. I was just at the store and made them aware and they responded by saying they come vaccinated from their supplier. However, they failed to mention that all chicks are not immune the first 3 weeks beyond vaccination. Meanwhile, an employee answered the phone talking with someone about there chicks potentially having Mareks. Our coop and soil is now infected. Future chicken owners be warned. An apology or some responsibility would have been nice. We will not be buying any future products from Wardles.

Terrible, dont ever buy chicks from them. We bough two chicks that were listed as Ameraucanas, but they were actually Easter Eggers. One turned out to be rooster. When we initially bought them, the girl helping us said that they would take back roosters for a fee and if they didnt have the room that the breeder they used would take them back. Fast forward 12 weeks and they suddenly wont take back roosters because according to Zach "they never have the room." We even asked for the breeders contact information and were hung up on. This place is unethical in their practices. We never would have bought chicks from them if we knew they werent even the breed we were looking for and that they wouldnt take back roosters like they said they would. Do your research and please dont use this company.

Horrible Service, Confrontational and they RIP YOU OFF! Their prices are based on how they feel at that given moment, or about you apparently. First time i came in for supplies they charged me same price for two different sizes of hive frames/foundation that i knew to be priced independent of each other because a friend had just purchased the very same items. Second time I came in I inquired with a different associate on pricing and he informed me it was based on sizing. When I challenged the associate that over-charged me on the past purchase, his response was, "were the ones that are in charge of pricing". My response was, "and Im in charge of where I am spend my money" and then I walked out.

I will forever make the trip just a bit further to Murdochs to avoid this garbage dump that sells animals,some crazy ass lady kept telling me bleach didnt kill most germs and proceeded to tell me about some other orange stuff that killed germs and bacteria so well that they were thinking of injecting it into HIV and aids patients to kill the virus but it hasnt been approved by the FDA,nevermind the 7 people behind me waiting to check out,or the horrible information this lady gives people,I came in once on a friends recommendations for cheaper hay ,theyre not cheaper, maybe the people are ,but I will still continue to go to Murdochs.

I have gone to Wardeles off and on over the years and have never had a problem with anything Ive gotten there before now. I would not recommend getting their Parrot mix, the last 2 bags I got from them were FULL of moth larva,which if you have birds you know turns into moths. The last bag I got was especially bad. I cant say Ill never shop there again but it will be a last resort and I will never purchase bird food from them again. Id suggest you dont either! I had to give one star so I could leave my comment other wise they would have got none !

We have gone to Wardles for the last 5 years for goats, chickens, etc... We have never had a problem and have learned very much from the experts that work there. We drive over an hour and a half to go to here. It seems like there is alot of misinformed people placing reviews on here. We come from a farm and pass up many places where we could get animals from. We go here because the animals and knowledge is superior. Thanks Wardles we are beyond pleased.

Excellent service from very knowledgeable staff! Quick and curteous! Everything you could possibly need, Best feedstore in Denver, by far. ONLY NEGATIVE I can think of, is that the recycling center is an eye sore, it clutters up what could be an amazing business. Feed store has grown and and vastly improved in recent years, there is a lot of potential there if the recycling part was removed and could be replaced with an expanded feed store!

I bought 10 chicks from Wardles a few weeks ago, and the kid who helped me was very knowledgeable and helpful, which is why I am giving two stars instead of one. Unfortunately, since then, 5 have died. I am really frustrated that we spent so much money there and that so many have died. We bought all new housing and feeding materials for the chicks, so I know it wasnt from contaminated supplies on our part.

Always friendly and helpful. We bought our chicks there last spring, they are laying well and all 8 were female. They also sold and delivered a second hand coop. The driver was very helpful and didnt bat an eye at our asking to lift it up over our short fence and across our yard. In a time when even feed stores have gone big box it is nice to have a place that carrys your feed to your car!
