My new babies arrived this morning from McMurray! I was so nervous since I read about all the issue people have been having since they ship out on Saturday (totally didn't know this!)....they hatched Friday, shipped Saturday and arrived Monday. I really thought I would have several DOA. I ordered 25 and I now have 27 loud babies 
I was very concerned with a few as they couldn't stand well, very wobbly, trouble with eating/drinking....luckily (thanks to advice here) I already had Nutri-Drench on hand and gave all a drop, focusing on the weak ones. Within about 1/2 hour they seem good as new!
A few questions/issues...
1. At first one of them seemed completely blind...stumbled backwards, could find food/water, bumped into everyone. I looked close and saw that it's eyelids weren't formed correctly, they just looked like teeny tiny slits and I could just barely see its eyes. After Nutri-drench and some extra tlc, I can't pick it out of the bunch...it's running with everyone and eating and drinking with them. And now looking at its eyes, they are much smaller opening than all the others, but I'm thinking it still has useable vision? Any ideas as far as long term and getting bullied?
2. Only one had pasty butt and when I looked closer, it looks like its vent is more "pushed out" more? Not so much as a prolapse, but just more pushed out. I cleaned it and applied triple antibiotic ointment with a q-tip. Any other ideas?
And lastly...
One of my RIR pulleys seems very mean! She will grab others by their beaks and shake them until they run away or stand up to her...she will back away when confronted. What is typical pecking order Vs bullying?
It looks like my extra exotic chick is a silver polish (assuming a roo) which means I will have 4 roosters since I order 2 Easter egger roosters and they sent 3 and now the extra. It's so stinkin adorable but one of the ones I am watching as it is one of the ones I had to give extra tlc.
