Coop fire. Daughter heartbroken. Need Spitzhaben.

[ftroop]

In a tragic incident, we had a coop fire last week. We lost all our chickens, which were abut 5 weeks old. My daughter was particularly attached to her spitzhaben. We drove to a feed store and bought a new group. We managed to create a distraction so the kids are not so freaked out but my daughter is heartbroken and really wants a spitzhaben like the one she had. We can't find one that is under 3 weeks old. I Googled and could not find one that I could get anytime soon. We live in Atlanta and would drive anywhere within a few hours of here or pay extra to get a day old shipped. We just need 1 but would be glad to pay to have 5 shipped, if there is a minimum order, and just find homes for the others. We are trying to get one this week.

I'm sorry this has happened to you. You might want to post in the Georgia section, you might have better luck. Here's the link:

I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. perhaps look online for the breed you want and they can ship it to you? that might be a good option. sorry I can't recommend any place because I live in California and that's a long way to ship but online you should be able to find some where closer. good luck. best wishes

Thanks for your kind words. I have looked online and have not found a hatchery that can ship chicks anytime soon. If you find one that I missed, let me know. Also, I posted in the Georgia thread, thanks for the suggestion.
