Welcome to BYC. Sadly shipping losses are not rare, especially for birds/animals considered to be less rugged. In the years I bought or sold puppies/dogs in one instance a puppy was left out on a shipping dock in winter (Chicago area - COLD) 10 hours because the crew forgot about him. I was crying, the expectant buyers were crying. We thought he was surely dead. Eventually the *&^&%&^$ located him and sent him on his way. Recipient
was thrilled to call and say he made it AOK. Sadly that doesn't happen often.

Puppy later became the 8 th. champion for his Champion dam (mother).

Thanks. The hatchery claims a 99% survival rate of course.
