Got our shipment of 25 today!

Sorry to hear that.
Great that the others are doing well.

Mine didn't have such a good trip, only 7 out of 25 made it! It's been a little over a week now and I can report all 7 are still alive and doing well! I picked up 6 more at Rural King this week and they are also doing great. I ordered straight run and have my fingers crossed hoping for 3 or 4 hens out of the first 7.

Did you let McMurray know?

O yes. They refunded the losses promptly. I almost feel that they where abused somewhere along the way. First time I've ever started this early, but surly that high a loss isn't normal even in cold weather.

Just an update! All 27 are still happy and healthy, coming up on 4 weeks old. So far this has been our most successful batch of chicks, and the only one we didn't get locally. Definitely happy with McMurray.

Great job. Hope to see more pics as they grow and get into mischief.
