Thank you so much everyone for your help! Not confident to say it's all over, yet, but the two that were looking sickly have perkect up. Feeling better and not quite so much like we're going to watch my daughter's whole little flock die.

ooh, I don't know if it is time or egg yolk or yogurt or what, but the two are perking up. If we're past this and the rest survive, I guess we can consider it a lesson in hatchery chicks. Hoping . . .

They are in a kennel with fresh bedding and a heat lamp. They were huddled at first, but spaced out quickly. When they acted sleepy, we separated them so they wouldn't get picked on with a heat lamp on them. I'll go watch them some more. The kennel is like a hard sided carrier and the heat lamp...

One of those died and now another is "sleepy."

We received 17 chicks in the mail yesterday. All but one seemed healthy. That one was smaller and seemed sleepy. Went to a funeral, came home to two dead chicks and one that was limp. It died. Now we have three more in that condition. They act like they're sleeping, but you can't wake them up...
