This is his full brother a couple months older and he's just as tame as his bro. I like this one better but he didn't come lemon hackled the way they normally do.

This is a shipping nightmare, my buddy in Kentucky sends me new brood hens, cocks, and stags. This pullet was shipped over night,

the next morning at 9 am the package was picked up, opened at the PO to verify and she was dead.

That pullet was shipped from your buddy? Any idea what happened? It's been pretty cool out lately.

No, she was a healthy 7 month old pullet. You just never know with shipping through the PO. I've never had one die before or received a dead one either. I've heard about other people receiving them dead.

Well now I don't feel as confident shipping them as I was lol Sorry to hear though. Definitely sucks.

I wonder if it ain't better to ship birds in pairs instead of singles.

 

[roosterhavoc]

They say it is getting cold!

Yeah a little chilly and windy today. All pullets and hens were fluffed up and I fired up the stove for only the second time.

If you do all that you can do with healthy birds then the rest is the risk you have to take.
