What were details of the arrangement? Who paid for what? Who paid for the shipping of the birds, boxes etc?

Oh poor poor babies-that is so very horrible.
I hope you will be ok and you work things out with the seller so you are treated more than fair.
That's an awful shock, for them, and for the hopes you had for them.
I am so sorry.

Putting myself in your shoes, I would NOT send him chicks. Absolutely not. And I would definitely demand a refund. That was ignorance on his part, anyway!

Those poor birds!

the deal was I hatch him birds ,and send him the shipping boxes and he would pay his shipping and I would hatch out B.C. and whaeton Marans and get them up to about 1 week and I pay to overnight them to him with gelgro pack and heatpacs in box to keep them safe and warm and feed of to good start,but I did buy the 2 shipping boxs and post to send them to him as well

Those poor birds. It just broke my heart to see them and read this thread. I wouldn't send him a thing. He doesn't deserve to have animals at all in my opinion.

I personally wouldn't send him a thing. its just pain wrong what he did.

That is horrible!

I just sold two silver pencilled wyandottes to a lady in CA. The box I intended to ship in was too small for the two birds (let alone four), so I had to send them in a swan box. Of course it weighed more and the box cost more, but the birds are alive and well.

There is a weight limit on those boxes too, what were they thinking? The narrower box is 8lbs including the box weight which is what I use.

I wouldn't send that person anything off my farm. I would just offer to pay them postage on the weight of the surviving bird only since he still has your box.

I would also be concerned about the blood and quarantine that bird. Can you tell where the blood came from?

ETA: I checked on that specific box and if it is an "Economy Nest" it only holds 10 lbs of birds and it was way overloaded. Those wyandottes weighed at least 6-7 lbs each. How much did the box weigh? You can find it on the shipping label.

Holey moley, that's way too many birds for one box.
