Quote: Hahahaha!! Addiction LESSEN??? Never! Loosen hold?? NEVER!!! You're stuck like the rest of us, Baby, and you'd better just give in and give it over to the Great Chicken in the Sky, because we're in it for life! your telling me?! I saw a craigslist posting for baby blrw's and now we...

Quote: When you are bringing birds any older than day olds onto your place you really need to quarentine them for a minimum of 30 days to make sure they aren't sick with any illness. Bringing birds from here and there is a very good way to end up with sick and dying birds. I know, I forgot...

*sigh* and now there are 9 more out there, 3 with the older girls and six with the babies!! and one of the older ones is a 2 month old roo!! when does this addiction loosen its hold?

THE CHICKS ARE STILL ALIVE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! OMG THE FIVE CHICKS ARE STILL ALIVE!!! i haven't killed them!!! I am so happy! Not only are the five survivors still alive, I think we might have lucked out and two of them might actually be BLRW's!!! *ahem* sorry, I got carried away...

Quote: yes, and i'm getting better about letting go of the feelings. I also used Sandhill for seeds this year, specifically for sweet potatoe slips, and apparantly with the weather they have had this past winter they won't be shipping those out to anyone until July. I'm guessing i might be...

It could also have been the transition from the hotter to the cooler that done it as well. Sad thing is, we will never really know for sure. But, it does go to show, if more people cared, less of this would happen

Quote: thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel so much better now that i have this information and that telephone number. the most horrible thing is, if I would have had that they more than likely would not have died. this means they died in denver, on a cold...

Quote: To be honest, I'm giving the whole mail thing another chance, and I am having them resend. Now that you've given me that association, I will go there because I have been trying to find local breeders and the ones listed on this site don't seem to have what I would want. We also got...

Quote: It is sad, but I have finally started to get over it. Although, apparantly they have been having some problems with shipping the birds during the warmer weather. Not, as one might assume, because they are too hot, but because some well meaning postal worker decides they are too hot...

Quote: Yeah, I am just waiting to hear back from them to find out if they will replace everything or if I have to pay for the five that would make a 25 chick shipment. *sigh* I hate waiting

this is the best I could do, will try to get better pics this evening when my partner gets home. They don't appear to have any feathering aside from the pinfeather/down stuff they are born with. They all appear to be, including the dead ones, day old chicks when they were shipped which would...

Quote: no, there was not an orange sticker that said live baby chicks, and I was pretty sure they would not need any food since everything I have read states this. However, that is what my box looked like, and with the exception of your chicks being alive and mine being dead the insides are...

Quote: yes, i opened them, i filled out the form and had the postal worker fill it out. thank you for letting me know about the heat, that was one of my questions. the box was rather small and was simply cardboard with a whole bunch of wholes, some straw and what looked like a piece of...

I understand what both of you are saying about the heat, but it has been rather cool here the last few days, not hot. So, I don't know if it was hot anywhere else along the trip, but here no. And I dipped their beaks in the water first thing when we got them home, at least the ones that...

Quote: I have, left a brief message and sent a more detailed email. Unfortunately, since they are people who work off the farm as well as do what they do, they are only available to answer the phone at certain times. Quote: Yes, they sent them on Tuesday the 1st. I specified and paid...

We ordered our chicks through SandHill Preservation Center. I do not, in any way, hold them responsible. However, out of the 27 chicks sent, only five are at this moment alive. It was so heartwrenching to open that box and see all those dead bodies inside. And now, I am left feeling sad for...
