One of my runts died today - I'm not real happy with the chicks from one of my sellers.. Not a byc member as far as I know. All the 'special needs' chicks hatched from those eggs. One runty chick (RIR) was doing well this morning but I think it may have been a mushy chick - that's the one that died. Another is very runty and looks to have odd stunted wings - that one's a barred rock.. and then there's the one missing an eye (who is thriving). These were ebay eggs, so I guess ya get what you pay for. One of the breeds he sent were all clears.
That said, the chicks from the other seller are thriving, as are the gigantic chicks from my own eggs.
No twisted toes or splayed legs in either of those sets, so not blaming the incubator.
