My birds are just under 4 weeks and there in the coop...no worries. ..I live in southern California and the weather is perfect. ...on really cold nights I just shut the windows and turn on a small heat lamp. ..just because there still young and I live in the mountains . ..they have 90% of there...

Hey have my chicks from the hatchery. ..and lots of different marker colors on the head. ...anyone know the color code...there from McMurray. ..thanks. ..

thanks a lot !

Good news no more casualties. .22 ore definitely survivors. ..and McMurray is sending reinforcements..haha

More casualties. ..since I received my order Fri at 2pm and 12 today..Sunday PST I have lost 15 birds and counting ...2 more on the short road out. ..there is something seriously wrong with the birds...Im not a stranger to raising chicks and never had this many die in less the 48 hours after...

definitely calling Monday

yeah it has been a bummer losing so many. ..thanks for the advice !!

yeah could possibly be cocci...now I don't know how McMurray works but most of the chickies that died are the ones they threw in as extra. ..not sure if they were vaccinated along with the others. .did pay for both vaccinations. .but who knows if they work well...

I'm using quick chick. ..is that as good ?

yeah it's been some wicked weather out lately. ..the shipped on the 17th and got them yesterday afternoon. ..pacific time

thanks !! I'll have to give them a call Monday morning ...

I have received my new flock yesterday and so far around 5 chicks have died out of 36. ..they just get really lethargic and sleepy looking and just fall over after about 12 hours. Don't know if it is fairly normal or the bad weather and cold coming from the hatchery. ..dono... any suggestions...

Looks good !
