When I first checked them out they seemed like great breeders--good reviews and such. However, as SilverSage suggested over on the "Do you need to handfeed to freeflight?" thread, yesterday I emailed them and asked them if they fully fledge the rosie babies because while I don't plan to free fly him, I do plan to leave him fully flighted (which I have already told the breeders). This is what I received in return:
Hi Michelle,
What do you mean by fledge? We wean them off handfeeding.
Have a nice day!

I have already paid them the full amount ($1450 including shipping), but now I am starting to think maybe I may have made a mistake. How can you not know what it means to fully fledge a baby if you are a good breeder? Also, how could you think the word "fledge" relates in some way to handfeeding? Last time I checked "weaned" and "fledged" weren't synonyms, and I'm no breeder! I am freaking out a little and wishing I had come on here for breeder recs now. What do you think I should do?
