I found a friend's sister who was willing to go in on an order with me so that I could get just 3 snowy mallard girls from Ideal Poultry (to keep my two boys company). She ordered 5 Pekins, and said she'd take the "packing peanuts" too, so I thought surely all would be well. When I got to the Post Office this morning and opened the box, all 3 of my little babies were dead.
All the Pekins were fine, and it looks like all but 1 of the 15 roos will make it too. I am so upset. Then when I called them to tell them what happened, they offered to ship my 3 again! They wouldn't do overnight shipping or provide a heat pack though. If those 3 innocent little babies died so easily with 20 others with them, how on earth do they expect to get them here safely? I was appalled. That just seems cruel and stupid to even offer to do that.
I don't know, maybe I'm just being harsh out of so much grief. I just don't know what to do now. I can't go through that again.
