EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[OneMountainAcres]

Good morning all. Feeling rather discouraged today. I lost another poult last night and 1 this morning, a chocolate. I'm down to 9 of the origional 16 that arrived safe in the mail. I've lost more of these shipped poults than I lost in my entire hatching season this year

They just seem to stop. They just stop eating, lay down and die. They look good and healthy one day, then the next, they're weak. I just don't know what to think. I'm doing the same thing I anyways do with my own home hatched poults.

Yes, they're seperated in a brooder with 1 chick (a tutor) but they're from a certified NPIP flock that does extra testing. They just get lethargic and die.
