Got my 4 New Peachicks today!!! Woke up to 1 Peachick Dead!

[Kev]

Glad to help. May get lucky and eventually end up producing purple silver pieds out of this group....

Well I woke up this morning to Purple Peachick 1 dead. I'm so upset. They did show sign of distress when they got here. They were in the mail for 2 days when they were supposed to be guaranteed next day. (stupid Post Office). I gave them Electrolytes and a mashed up hard boiled egg when they got here. They all ate and drank which was a good sign. Eventually the wings stopped drooping and I thought they were okay until I found the dead peachick this morning. I hope no more die. I was really looking forward to my new colors. I hate buying shipped birds. But I can't seem to find anyone near me to buy any off of.

I'm really upset about this.

Is there anything else that I need to do to stop anymore from dying from being so stressed out.

Thanks for any help,
Michelle

I would love some Deerman. I don't care if they are peachicks or yearlings. Not picky. Just looking for differant colors.



I let my India Blue out (Big Blue) and he took off he has a 5 foot train and it's not the first time he has been let out. I let him out everyday. He just up and left and hasn't been back for 2 days now. I found him yesterday and he ran from me. I am afraid he is gone for good. I couldn't find him today.

Just my luck. I thought if he heard the flock he would return but, so far no luck.

Any suggestions.
