Chicks all arrived dead

I am sorry that happened. Do you think they perhaps got too cold? I've ordered from Ideal 5 or 6 times and have never lost one during shipping and only 1 or 2 within the first couple of days. Of course, I'm within 200 miles of the hatchery and I'm sure that makes a difference. I hope your second batch of chicks arrives hale and hearty!
 
That had to have been what happened. I got some from them this fall and they were all healthy. This shipment had plenty of "packing peanuts" in there too.

I ordered early because this spring and summer I don't think I'll be able to start chicks. I wanted them here and growing by then. I'm going to try once more but if that doesn't work I'll have to cancel altogether or look for a really good chick babysitter.
