I'M A NICE LADY! BUT:
- "Yippie-Kai-Yay, MotherCluckers!" Don't mess around with the Chicken Lady!
- "Eggcuse" my "fowl language"
- But...credit card companies, banks, and customers that steal can suck it! I don't need them.

Let's Make This Easy On Everyone
Simply Put:
This is why we can't have nice things! Like paying with your credit card if you are a new customer.
Blue Star Ranch is here and has been in business since 2008 to raise the best
Non-GMO chickens of all ages bring the best of products to our customers.
It's becoming obvious that banks are now siding with customers 100% of the time for nearly all "disputes" (stolen cards & theft transactions) and retaining money from small businesses.
( I'm not the only small business dealing with this problem) Corrupt banks, Square payments, Government small claims courts, and Customers that lie and cheat the system are becoming too time-consuming for my day-to-day business. (Read our quality GUARANTEE before purchase)
Consumer and Bank theft cost me time every day sorting out the next bank issue.
Let's Be Honest
consumer theft is affecting you too!
Small claims courts are GLUTTED with small businesses trying to recover money from disputes and chargebacks! Many courts are shut down or offer limited services to people that really need legal relief. When a small claim case is filed in court there is a 90-day wheel of letter writing, petitions, court date resets, and appeals which means most people filing their case in Small Claims courts will simply get lost in the system.
The "defendant" being charged in small claims only has to write a letter for the judge to "overturn" the judgment and then "case dismissed." Zip, nada, nothing to the business owner!
So future sales to all new customers will be in CASH or BARTER only. And it's because of consumers that take advantage of small businesses, that we are making this new payment structure to Blue Star Ranch.
Why the changes to our payments for purchases? Because our court system, credit card companies, and banks (and dishonest customers) are working together to harm small businesses by encouraging disputes and financial losses to locally owned small businesses.
(Side note: I am a Senior-Citizen, Disabled, and a Women-owned company, which makes me a Minority business.)
What kind of people take advantage of a disabled Grandma? Seriously?

Update: 07/08/21 A threatening phone call was made from Matt McGinnis to Mary Ann Fordyce about 10:00 AM claiming certain legal action forthcoming from his "big lawyers" and that I have no idea how much trouble that I am facing with legal action. And that I will be sorry for making these postings. He claims that I am running a "scam." His point was clear to have no further contact with him. (I have had no direct contact with him other than this posting made and copies and links posted for entertainment purposes)
Really and truthfully - I am a small business and customers that steal from me cause me a great deal of time and money in order to recover the stolen funds. Moreover, Banks, Credit Card processors, and former customers make it impossible to recover stolen money.
THERE ARE NO OTHER MATT MCGINNIS IN THIS ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS WITH THIS NAME OR SIMILAR NAME, PHYSICAL LIKENESS, AND DESCRIPTION AND THAT LIVE LOCAL TO THE AUSTIN AREA

Although, McGinnis signed ALL SALES FINAL bill of sale his bank card, with SQUARE transactions backing him, did choose to find in favor of this "dispute". This Customer Matt McGinnis never even contacted me. He disputed his payment 3.5 months after the purchase! On file I have copies of his written signature for a sales contract, his AS IS reciepts sent to his phone number on file for verification.
( Message to Matt: Perhaps it's empowering for you to cheat a disabled grandmother out of the money she uses to care for her family and to keep the chickens and products you purchased. My hard work and sweat for many months went into caring for those chickens.)
Spiritually: I forgive you in my heart for the theft and bear no hatred toward you nor your family.
But I will write and speak the truth in this matter. All things will be revealed, all sins will be made known!
Ethically: Grow up! Strap on a pair Sonny!, At least make an attempt to be a man!
Put on your big boy pants and call me to pay for the chickens you stole!
