    Bad Experience w/IDEAL Poultry Hatchery: Normal Occurrence?

    As someone who is new to chickens, you need to remember that rarely do all the chicks make it. It is not uncommon at all to have several die - they are tiny and fragile.

    I liked how IDEAL even personally responded to the complaint, and even gave the OP help over the phone. When you ship millions of chicks a year, but will still take the time to respond to a problem with an extremely small order (compared to millions of chicks!), that shows they care!
