She has had eletrolytes and probotics and her head is still bobbing, but she is still alive.

They said they would refund or replace. Going to go with the refund since I ordered so many. Thing is I ordered 25 black Jersey Giants and all 25 of them are doing good so far...they starting drinking and eating as soon as I put them in. The Buffs seem to want to be more under the heat...

I ordered 25 buffs....2 arrived dead, 1 died in my hand, then 5 more died within 24 hours.....I'm hoping that will be it.....they said it is from the stress of the trip (Maybe temperature change also from outside to inside post office). I know that shipping stresses chicks, but this is my first...
