It is really normal and very logical that not all chicks pullets or even hens will sarvive! however for some it is heart breaking when some of thier birds don,t make it.
I thought I will mention this topic because alot of members+ new chicken lovers are placing thier orders at diffrent hatcheries and are going to be ready for thier chicks in spring.
My experiance, I got 20 Pullets and 2 of them got injured them selves and got killed, today I culled a very weak one not to let her suffer.
from my big hens I lost 2 of the silver laced wyndotts and got red of the other 3 after I found out that they were fom start not doing well as others.
So for you who has alot of birds please post some of your experiance to comfort the new or (less expert like me) that you are not alone and it is just the fact in life.
Thank you all.
