Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[MedusA]

Have sadly had a run of losses this year (ex-batts do tend to go around the same time). Lost Angelica in May, Dill in September and Cicely last month.

 

As my flock had depleted so much, I treated myself to two little white Silkie pullets at the National Poultry Show. They both seemed to be doing fine but last Friday I went out to the run and found Snowflake dead and cold and a poor little Flurry on her own in the run. As I have had them less than 3 weeks, I thought i ought to let the breeder know in case there are any problems with their other birds. Any idea how I can find out who I bought them off? I don't want compensation or anything like that. Just think they may want to know.

 

I am now trying to integrate Flurry into the rest of the flock, but it's harder with one, bless her.

Oh what a shame about Snowflake . Is there an exhibitors list for the show? I expect some of our show experts should be along soon to help.

Sorry to hear about your new chickens sometimes moving to a new home is to much for them and the stress of it all they can leave the breeders in excellent health but then just die a couple of weeks later or come down with anything theres no way of telling leanne
