Location: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Picked????? Really? I know the old folks will call them "Hen Fruit" but really? ( I know that it could just be shorthand for 'picked up' but still. It's a funny mental image)

I wish over half my birds were laying two eggs a day!!!!!!!!

They should get in touch with this guy:

 the fellow here locally we buy chicks from says they had a round of this early this spring - a particular batch of chicks hatched fine, but many were dead within a day and most within 3 days... had chicks from that batch go to 4 or 5 buyers and they all had the same experience.  they researched back and found they were in the incubator when they had a 4-hour power outage.  his theory is that the outage was enough to cool the eggs in the incubator enough to weaken the developing chicks, but not prevent the hatch.  I had 5 chicks from that hatch, 1 dead the first day, 3 more dead within 3 days.  the 5th chick seems to be doing fine.

aside from that, I think guinea keats are extremely fragile the first few days.  last year I bought keats at the local feed store - picked the healthiest looking jumping spry ones.  on the way home (about 50 minutes) I lost 3 of 10 before I got home... had 2 more I thought were going to die, sluggish and floppy, but when I got them under the heat lamp, they recovered.  I think they simply cannot tollerate the temperature variation in the first few days... don't know how this works when shipping them.
