Thanks SM, but Ive already scoped natures hatchery out. And I definitely, definitely get the vibe they drop ship FROM IDEAL. Ideal is my all time favorite hatchery, and apparently a lot of other people's too. hehe

That's awesome news! Good to see at least they apologized, and maybe the disappointment will teach you to not trust just anyone with your birds. It's a hard lesson, but I have learned it the hard way too. Good luck on finding some replacements if you even can. AND AHappyChick is pretty awesome

I have a 9 year old and he would have been crying his eyes out knowing that he hurt those chicks! It would have broke his heart. I would have broke his butt too....but I'd at least wait till he quit crying to punish him. I'm sorry your parents are so callous about your birds.

I do have a question though: when dad said you should order from another hatchery.....who did he say is paying? I certainly think she should! I think from now on you should keep your birds separate from hers, and let both siblings have the responsibility for their birds. You take care of yours and don't let your brooder go in her room!

Don't worry about prom. I went to mine with a 'guy that was a friend' and I wish I hadn't. It was miserable. I'm pretty sure I burned the pictures a few years later. lol Better to miss it then go and be miserable. My mom was so sure I would regret it forever if I didn't go. Turn's out I regret going.

I so wish I had your breeds....I'd send you eggs, all I have laying right now are guineas.

So sorry that there was so much trauma with the loss of your birds.

However, I am with some of the other posters who have said that you should have taken the responsibility of moving the brooder out of your sister's area when you saw that she was not being responsible. I think you know this in your heart and that is why you are so angry. You might feel better if you acknowledge your portion of responsibility in the event. After all, you are practically an adult, and your sisters are still young children.

Best wishes and hope you can go forward from here.

yeah I think they drop ship also. No worried a big box will go out for you monday, just keep that bator in a safe place lol.

as for replacing the eggs they are only chickens at the end of the day so it makes me happy to send you some to help with the grief. I will expect to hear any wins that you may get a year from now if any of the chicks that hatch end up being shown, that would be so cool. I dont show but a few people who have bought from me do and have done well I hear

if my pm is full just e-mail me as I havent been on as much and my inbox is oftem a 100%

My seven year old did the exact same thing... I told her not to touch the brooder lamp and as soon as I was on a date with dad and out of the house she thought they needed more warmth... I got home and opend the front door and heard very loud peeping and new something horrible had happened... I was just as mad at the baby sitter as I was my daughter... I managed to save all but 5 of them by drenching them with room temperature water... I made my daughter help throw away the dead chicks and help feed water with a dropper to the ones that were recovering... To this day she will never do anything like that again... Your parents should of made your sister help clean up her mess and pay you back for the cost of the birds... Poor little peeps

Wow,POU1TRYP3RSON... It sounds like everyone in your house has had some growth, even if its just a smidgen. Anything is better than nothing.
AHappychick, If you are sending eggs please PM me. I'd like to contribute toward postage. (typical old lady, I have to do something and a casserole won't work)

I would make her pay!!! It was no accident!!! I would beat her... jk, I would just make er clean my room till I move outa the house and do my chors without a complante or she'd hear from me a second time!!! I would also make her pay for more chicks when time comes.. I hate lil children.. I have a 14 yr old lil sis, and shes only 2 yrs younger than me and I still cant stand her.. *feels your pain...* Grrr...

And omg, I went to prom already, it was one of the best nights in my life... You should still try to go with somone else from school, like an invite friend... It doesnt even have to be a guy... I went with a guy, but a friend, and we had a blast!!

Hope all goes well

How awful for you both. At least your daughter's intentions were good and selfless (even though she was being disobedient). The 9 year old was just being defiant, selfish and knowingly reckless. In my mind, that's inexcusable. AND it's wonderful that there were consequences for your daughter, a parental duty the 9 year old's parents appear to be shirking.
