Good morning peeps!!! COF, so glad to hear you got the goslings!!! I woke up to a beautiful black barthuhner chick staring at me through the hatcher door.

Along with WVstruttin Bantam orps: all 4 roosters.

Well that sucks

Morning all... thanks for the well wishes. Major hope your jaw feels better, I know my head does after yesterdays events.

In good news I have been on the phone with all sorts of USPS people and yelled at enough of them about the dozens of misplaced, lost, abused boxes of lives resulting in deaths they are promising a over haul in Memphis (we will see) and I offered to help consult on ways to maintaain speediness and proper handling of animal packages and reminded them they could face animal cruelty chanrges if it doesnt get fixed.

So if anyone has a horror story live bird shipment from January until current (box went missing, was opened, birds missing, dead birds) send me a PM with your DC number and name as I will be on the phone on Monday again, and they want to know about the other cases.

COF, if you really want to scare them into sobriety, post this call for bird shipments thru Memphis hub site-wide! I hate to think of the length of the list that'd generate...

I think that's a breed that you can feather sex.

Did anybody see this article on shipping from Popular Mechanics? Very interesting testing. Fragile did get the roughest handling.

I'm still having crappy hatching. The only way I seem to get more than one chick is if it's a shipment of bantams. Hatched two MF D'Uccles. Not a single gosling. One swedish duck. No silky ducks. *sigh* I used to do really well with eggs. 100% from serama eggs, duck eggs were all hatching (that developed), etc. Very tempted to shut down the bator.

Chocolate to black breeding produces sexlinked chicks. Black chicks are roosters chocolate are hens.
