Chirping
So as of right now out of 23 chicks I have 11 left. 20 were purchased at the above hatchery, 3 from the feed store and put in the brooder before I really realized there was a problem. All 3 from the feed store are gone and I have never lost a feed store chick. The other 9 were the hatchery chicks. Nearly 50% death rate. The owner of the hatchery did offer to replace the chicks Ive lost but I chose not to get any more because I didnt want to bring any more disease home. She hasnt offeren any type of refund and I havent asked. Im just chalking it up to a lesson learned. Im still doing the best I can for the surviving chicks but at this point Im not really expecting any to live.
