Here is a picture of some of the big girls. They are retiring for the evening.

What is it about those baby pix that makes us all lose our senses and say "OOOOOH, I want/need some of those..." ?

One of my new baby girls died last night. I noticed that one wasn't too perky so I took her in the house and held her on my lap on a heating pad. I tried to give her a little sugar water. She died in my lap. So sad. This is the first time I have ever lost a bird. All the other are fine and perky, eating, drinking and sleeping.

I am so sorry! I lost one once. I found her dead in the brooder....she had a limp leg so I was kind of expecting it. It was so sad because the other chick just panicked when I took her out.

I hope the rest are ok!

I just hate that. It just isn't right for them to go through all that trouble to get here, get hatched out of that tiny egg only to die. I hate it when I order them and they make the whole horrible trip, just to die once they get to a safe place.
