The Blue lace Red Wyndottes and RIR's we have been waiting months for arrived on the 6th. All the Wyndottes and all but 4 of the RIR's were dead. Dead as in, dead for at least a day from the look and smell of them. Of the 4 RIR's two weren't looking very healthy, lost one a few hours later and this morning, we lost another of that lot.
Of all the years I have been ordering chicks I have never had this happen. Needless to say we were a bit upset.
So I went to Tractor Supply and bought some of the production chicks they have, Golden Comets and Easter Eggers. They are not the breeds I want but we really need something to eat ticks around the house.
They are doing well and feathering out nicely.
I have re ordered the chickens I wanted, and they will arrive the last week of Aug.
If this the Postal Service messes up this badly again, I will know there is someone in their employ, about a day away from here, that doesn't like chickens or is just plain cruel. There is no excuse they can give me... for why this happened.
On a happier note, Nari enjoying the morning...
