Customer reviews regarding Junior Pet Shop present contrasting opinions. One reviewer reported purchasing 17 chickens, with 14 of them suffering from bumblefoot and others showing signs of serious infections. This reviewer described the shop's environment for the birds as a small, unventilated closet with wire cages, where chickens, quail, and finches were kept crammed together. They also claimed to have witnessed new chickens being handled roughly and stacked in a dog crate. This customer expressed strong negative feelings about the conditions observed.

In a follow-up to the shop's response to their initial review, the same customer refuted claims made by the shop. They asserted that video evidence showed hens with severe respiratory infections that would not develop quickly. They also disputed the shop's claim that they had inspected each hen before purchase, stating that the rapid handling of the birds into boxes made this impossible.

Conversely, another reviewer reported "great service" and "amazing deals on birds and supplies." This customer stated that their "baby" (presumably a bird) was healthy and growing.

Given these significantly different experiences reported by customers, individuals considering Junior Pet Shop for their pet needs should be aware of both the positive and negative feedback. The stark contrast in reviews, particularly concerning the health and living conditions of the animals, suggests that potential customers may want to visit the store and carefully assess the environment and the animals themselves before making a purchase.
