Distressed/sick chick

[Artistickatt]

That makes sense, the one I casually saw online shipped day old regular chicks with the peachicks to keep the warmth factor in check. I assume incubator chicks are as safe from cocci as they can be at a day old for a warmth factor. I didn’t realize you could ship three week old ones, I always thought the littler the better nutritionally. I don’t think I have to be rushed at this point. There look to be breeders 3 to 4 hours from here. Once my broken ribs are healed, I can safely travel to get some.

Are eggs a crapshoot at best I take it?

Yeah eggs are a crap shoot. Peas are hard enough to begin with but adding the stress of shipping and if you get 30% to develop and hatch I think you are doing pretty good.
