Help ID... 14 dead in box! Warning - Dead chick pics

I feel your pain - I got mine today with 9 of 12 dead. Different situation, these were started birds, but still hurts. At least you have some of them to enjoy. I got three, one roo & two pullets. Just what I needed.

To me it looks like the box was pretty small for 25 chicks to be sent in. They may have suffocated in the corners and plus was probably handled very rough by the postal service. Sorry this happened to you. Hopefully your next order will arrive alive.
 
kelly, I bought chicks from welp that are due to arrive on weds. I'm a little nervous now. There are 42 chicks coming, I hope they use two different boxes to give enough room.
 
I'm so sorry that you had to open a box that was supposed to be a happy event and discover what you saw. Did the hatchery provide any reasons for this occurrence?
 
I buy from welp all the time. about 7 times last year and 3 this year and have about 100 comming next week. Ive never lost more than 3 and I'm from pa. They are really healthy chickens. I blame the post office for any troubles. Unless the chicks are just really small.
