I'm glad the guineas were okay! We have to use an extension cord from our house also, since we don't have electricity where we keep our chicks.

I don't know if hatcheries refund for losses after shipping, though I could be wrong. It is likely just shipping stress. If it is a disease, however, then I would certainly talk to the hatchery about it. I hope the others get better. Have you tried treating for coccidia?

I'm really sorry to hear that. Are they getting enough protein and vitamins? I found vitamins helped a lot with my really weak chicks.

Yes, I think so.

You can use hobbles to fix this problem, if caught early enough.

I'm sorry about the chick you lost. I used Save-a-chick for some of my chicks that I hatched myself. They were very weak, unable to hold their heads up or eyes open for over a day. But after getting them to drink the vitamins, they got stronger and stronger and are now walking around...

Awesome!

I'd love to see some pictures when they arrive!

They should have a heat lamp until they are fully feathered (around a month or just over a month). However, they will need a lot of space, even if they aren't fully feathered yet, so you could move them to the coop with a heat light. Best of luck!
