oh man that suck. I'm so sorry.My last shipment of regular birds was 5 lbs and had 2 turkeys, 11 spitzhauben, 6 ee, 18 cochin bantams, 1 NH Red and came in a two compartment box.
My biggest problem right now is that I got some ee chicks from TSC (Mt. Healthy) who had AE which spread and killed 60 chicks in my other brooders. Now all of my outdoor brooding facilities are infected/possibly infected and I have no place to put these chicks once they are a couple weeks old. One of my 14 week old pullets just died of it and she wasn't infected as a chick. It has destroyed my hatching egg and chick business! grrr...I can't find anyone who knows what to do about the situation. So on one hand I am excited for my surprise and on the other I cannot handle anymore dead chicks and am dreading the possibility of them getting infected. I set up some pens on the other side of my property and have chicks, teens, and breeding hens over there that are not/have not gotten infected so there is hope. Unfortunately it is too far away from the house for electricity.
your box and mine are almost identical lol. I know I told hubby I was selling most...but dang there is a lot I'd like to keep. I got a lot of gold and silver laced birdsMine came! I got two Rouen ducks (I think), and about 51 chicks (they noted on my packing slip that they packed 53 total), all large fowl. 10 or more Polish, 6 or more EE, 10 or more feathered legs which I am assuming are cochins, and some others I haven't identified. Looks like I got almost all of the Polish colors lol. All alive and doing well. My box was a 4 compartment box with one of them empty.
