week early, wrong breed, all dying.... :( Update pg 2

[farrier!]

I was told my replacements would be shipped on the 11th. Instead I received dying Golden Spangled Hamburg chicks today.

Poor things just fall over. I tried honey water, warmed them up. They do not seem interested in eating and just flop when you touch them.

Wow. That is terrible. Where did you get them so I can avoid ordering from there?

 

[cafarmgirl]

Oh no, I remember reading your last thread. You are having a terrible time of it. I can't imagine how sad and very frustrating this must be. Have you had words with the hatchery yet?

 

[farrier!]

Now our power is out!!!
Flooding and bridge ou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!! My replacments are supposed to ship Monday too.... I've been trying not to worry myself sick, now my stomach is churning.

Have you called the hatchery and wripped them a new one?!?!?!

I would be over the edge with rage!!!!!!

Poor babies................................

I think I am going to cry for you and those poor little babies, that is just horrible!!!

I can't even imagine!!!!!

 

[noitulover]

Agreed! Honey should not be given to chicks or human babies under a year old. There's a risk of a certain form of botulism.

How sad!! ...for you and for all those babies!!

Power outage.. flooding... OMG!!!

[IggiMom]

Um--what hatchery was it? Or are we not supposed to say on the forum.

I do not want to get my hand slapped!

How very frustrating. I do feel for you.
