Got 26 chicks today, 15 EE and 11 random (so far I have identified RIR, black giant and brown leghorn). All were so happy and healthy which is better than previous three orders. I had ordered fron two separate hatcheries and lost over half of the shipment. Most were dead on arrival with more dying afterwards. New shipment was from a third hatchery and what a difference. Healthy, no weakness, no pasty butt, happy chirping.
That's great news! We got 27 from McMurray a few weeks ago and all were very healthy - still are! Not even a pasty butt.
The weather has been so cold for shipments. I got 6 chicks from the Big R in our area, while I wait for chicks to hatch this weekend. They said the big R gets theirs from Montana.
