A whole year late, but did you lose any when they were shipped? What condition were they in?

Is that fancy-looking roo in pics 1 & 2 a Brown Leghorn? My first flock roo was a BL.

None died when they arrived, but the next day 2 died (rockie and silly Pete) (I think they died because I didn't give them a heat lamp, though because I didn't know they needed it) then 1 died (ginger) a month or 2 later, then one mysteriously dissapeared (holsted, named after the show Chicago p.d), then we had to give away one of the roosters (cluckles) because he was aggressive, then one of the hens (sunny) died from being egg bound 2-3 times. So I got 17 from Hoovers Hatchery and have 11 left. I would recommend hoovers Hatchery, though. I now have about 60 chickens.
