Oh no! Dead on arrival? I hope you got a refund for them.

Wow you picked some breeds I haven’t heard of. Did you pick them for their looks or egg laying or for meat?

And yes! Chicks are messy little creatures! 😂 probably why I will not be having chicks this year...maybe 🤣 I think I’ve had chicks every single year since I started owning chickens.

Your post is an example of why it's important to read ALL the way through before making judgements or responses. When you mentioned going to cock fighting and having fun, I nearly closed your post without finishing.

While I will never understand the inherent cruelty of forcing any animals -- birds, dogs, men vs. bulls in a ring, anything -- to fight and consider it human entertainment, I am glad that you personally did not participate and that you rescued some of the birds. Cultural and peer influences sometimes blind people to what they should be able to see as right (caring for other living creatures) and wrong (animal suffering).

Sorry to hear about the 6 Sumatra chicks. As far as your Cochin throwing food, I find all of my Cochins to be characters in one way or another. They are personality-plus chickens!

Welcome to BYC and best wishes for your flock!

Yes the cochin is a character he likes to run alot which surprised me cause of its size about twice the size of the other chicks and sadly I am down to 5 Modern games 😞

I was hoping to breed and improve for show quality also I was excited to be able to raise and breed some of the rarest gamefowl out there the modern game but sadly I am down to only 5 modern games I'm desperately hoping they stay alive and that 1 dark Cornish and 1 buff cochin But I have emailed mcmurray and because my 48 hours end on a Saturday (they have a 48 hour guarantee) so I emailed them Friday and let them know I was having problems with the chicks and that I will be calling on Monday to get a refund for all losses I experience over the weekend I lost 19 within the 48 HR period and one after I have taken pictures then buried the dead chicks after the 48 hours were over so I can have proof of the amount of loss I experienced, they said they sorry for my loss and will be awaiting my phone call on Monday I just hope they honor their guarantee, I will let you know about my experience with customer service tomorrow.
