I'm glad to hear it. The two runts that concerned me the first day are doing well too. I don't believe there is enough attention paid to production breed genetics. They are generally available from hatcheries all year long and if any of the layers aren't getting the maximum nutrition needed for breeding, the chick bears the brunt of it in the egg. Those are the ones that get help or get culled. I'm sure if you feed a good quality starter, introduce some chick grit and greens starting at 2 weeks of age, use a good vitamin-electrolyte-probiotic in the water every so often, and help them build immunity with Amprolium before hitting ground outside, and a while after, you'll have some hearty birds that make life enjoyable.
