Ideal warmth chick breed?

[CountryFried]

Got this little guy today, he and the two goslings are all that survived a delayed trip, sigh. He’s not doing great but he’s still holding on. Any idea what he is? He’s got tiny black? feathers coming on his wings.

Poor thing.

Maybe a Rhode Island Red.

Do you have any nutridrench?

He sure doesn't look like it was a easy trip.

 

[CountryFried]

He had a drop of NutriDrench about two hours ago. He’s still not eating or drinking on his own.

 

[21hens-incharge]

Is he still the same?

I am rooting for him.



I assume Ideal is honoring a "live shipment guarantee" on the ones that passed.

So sorry you lost most of the birds.

How are the geese doing?

 

[CountryFried]

I’m sure Ideal will take care of it. They were supposed to arrive yesterday and didn’t. Likely spent 10+ hours in a postal truck. It was 115 degrees in my greenhouse with the windows open, I imagine it was hotter in the truck. He’s still alive, but that’s about all the positive I can say . Hubby said one of the ducks tried to drag him around the brooder and that’s when he isolated him. If he makes it through the night, I’ll get him some friends tomorrow.

Rhode Red or Production Red most likely.

Poor baby, hope he perks up. Could you give him a stuffed animal to cuddle with,

 

[CountryFried]

He had a rice sock I had him cuddled with for warmth, but he passed away about two hours ago

Sorry for your loss

That is so sad. I am so sorry he passed.

He really looked weak. I know you tried to save him.
