I went to our new TSC just an hr ago. I asked the cashier if she'd heard of the recent chick deaths at TSC. She hadn't. I informed her of what I read on here. I walk over to look at their chicks......they're stumbling, eyes closed, some huddling, others so sick they're unable to huddle or stand...

I'm in Southern Missouri and just discovered Seramas. OMG have you seen these lil guys! I'm totally in love but can't find anyone within a safe shipping distance from me who has them for sale! Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I'm nobody, but I'm here! I have 3 layers with a rir roo, 15 7 week old chicks and 11 4 week old tokens, austrolorp/pol, polish. I stay busy but love my birds!
