What dose NPIP CERTIFITED mean and should I ask for that before I buy the chicksUnderstood. And you are right. Some though are born weak and will die, usually no matter what you do. They just will. I've gone the extra mile and done everything humanly possible to save a weak, sick chick that seemed to be healthy right at hatch and they just die. In only a few days. This is not disease though. And you never should "expect" a certain number to just die. You expect them all to live. If a few don't make it cause they were hatched with unknown problems, that's different. It's unheard of for NPIP certified and hatchery chicks to bring any disease into your flock, by the way.
