Appearantly 1 of my Ideal chicks has an Upper Respiratory Infection...

What is the incubation period for mycoplasma? I lost 8 chicks over 3 days with these same symptoms. Ideal will replace or refund them, but only up to day 4 which is tomorrow.

We only had one loss last night and today everyone looks good, so Iʻm hoping its aspergillosis and that we are out of the woods, but any further thoughts would be appreciated. All customer service would say is that it was probably a chilling problem in shipping out of their control but that they would make it right on any losses thru day 4.

I'm the person who would seek a vets advice. I purchased all 8 of my chicks (5 Barred Rock, 3 RI Reds) from Ideal Hatchery. No problems, very healthy, 12 weeks old now. In anticipation of eggs in a few more weeks. Best wishes for your chicks.
