    Postmaster took chicks home

    Nope, they were Silkies. I think I was upset because I was just a few days post major spinal surgery in my neck and was in pain and not myself. I normally don't react like that. This all started when we weren't receiving our packages in the mail, and I went in to see why they weren't being...

    Postmaster took chicks home

    I would be happy that they looked after the chicks if it didn't come with so much nastiness.

    Postmaster took chicks home

    I've had 3 shipments of 25 this year with no losses. That may be what Meyer Hatchery says, but the law says that the post office has to wait until 72 hours after hatch. They were in no danger of dying. They were happy and robust!

    Postmaster took chicks home

    Because she gets angry when chicks come through the mail. Her job is NOT to have an opinion, it's to follow the law. The chicks are robust and healthy and were 30 hours old when I picked them up. I want an attorney because she holds my eggs without my permission and leaves nasty messages. The...

    Postmaster took chicks home

    They were 24 hours old when they hit the post office. If they had arrived Friday, when they were projected to arrive, none of this would have happened. I would have picked up my chicks and everyone would have been happy even though by picking them up today, it is a day sooner.

    Postmaster took chicks home

    My chicks arrived 2 days early at the post office. The tracking said Friday, they arrived Wed. 1 day after hatching. The post office left increasingly nasty messages for me but I didn't get them yesterday, and looked up the tracking today to see if they were coming today and saw that they had...

    Never had a broody hen?

    I have 25 broodies out of a laying flock of 50 hens. You are welcome to 20 of them if you are ever in Wa.

    Need advice on a rooster with no legs

    You did an excellent job with him! Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's been such a help to me. I have a Polish hen, Nora, who hid outside overnight in -8 degree weather with almost 3 feet of snow, and both her feet are frostbitten. I'm waiting for them to fall off and will get her...

    The best broody breed

    I have English orpingtons. They go broody all summer. My lavenders are on their 2nd brood this summer and my chocolates are on their 3rd. You can have the 2 chocolates if you want. Seriously.

    Why is nobody laying?!

    I'm surprised no one mentioned parasites as a cause for not laying eggs. I have tons of wild birds here and when my laying slows or I see bare butts, I treat them for mites. It works well, the laying increases after. It is a pain, since I have over 50 chickens ( I retire my old ladies to an old...
