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

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

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.

Man that's bad news !!!
Especially on brood birds and being shipped (i know it's aggravating) .... i feel for you .
Do you think she might have had a heart attack ?
Can't see her head .... any sign of fighting (or was she in with another bird ?)

I've heard of it happening but i guess i'm lucky (never had one to die) .

I had 4 roosters i shipped to N.C.(from south Alabama) to get lost for 4 days after they got to N.C. and the ole boy that gott'em said were find and they won a show a week or two later .(somebody must have fed and watered them at the terminal)this was in the 70's ...... he had found this tool delivery company that would haul chickens , dogs , anything in a crate , (that was the only problem we had with them) but those days are gone . .

And i've shipped and received in summer many times(even this year) (i always cut a cross slit in sheet that covers the air holes) i have been guilty of cutting some of it out or just glueing a piece of vinyl screen where the sheet is supposed to be .

Friend I do feel bad that you lost her (wish there was something i could do)

She is replaceable, there was no sign of a struggle so I don't know. I've never had one die before, shipped or received. Especially one that was over night shipped. You have the Marion Rose Hatch, I seen someone post pictures of some stags he had today on a Facebook page.
