DEATH (12 so far) and mutilation on the homestead

[lanahi]

I really don't think you can expect the US Postal Service to babysit the animals they get, though, do you? They don't have the facilities to keep chicks at 85 degrees even if they knew they were supposed to do that.
Duck and geese eggs need moisture, so if a hen is hatching them, you need to sprinkle some water on the eggs every day.

[crashdive123]

While the USPS is not there to babysit, you would think that knowing they have a package of live chicks on their truck that they would at least keep the windows up and heater on until that package was delivered.

THe company I work for sells chicks,ducklings,goslings,and other baby fowl,forseveral months in the spring and again in the fall,the USPS doesnot deliver them to us,but rather calls and lets us know when they come in,once they had pushed them outside because they didn't want to hear them,lost quite a few that time,we called the hatchery ,who reimbursed us for the dead ones,and they collected service,never found them sitting outside again.

[Sourdough]

McMurry Hatchery credited me for the dead birds that died in the first 48 hours, and even paid the shipping on the dead birds. I have not lost any more birds. My neighbor has a hungry Grizzly eating hers, bad break. I think next spring I will get 50 turkeys, for november harvest, and be done with this wintering turkeys.

Okay, so out of curiosity (my knowledge on the subject is "for the birds"), why can't the mama goose sit on her own eggs? And why not get a Tom Turkey to fertilize the turkey eggs?

[nell67]

In order to increase the supply of eggs,the eggs are removed from momma bird and incubated,thus momma keeps laying eggs,because she believes the previous ones were destroyed,and she really wants to hatch her eggs.

As for the tom fertilizing the eggs,well in hatcheries,the goal is to get as many fertile eggs as possible from one tom,thus his "stuff" is collected (seen this happen once) and used to breed several hens with what would have been "used" in only one mating if left to nature.

Plus there are a couple of breeds where the tom just plain gets too big to be able to mate properly,a result of genetic engineering,or human interference,however you want to look at it.
