I got my order from Ideal on 3/13, they shipped on 3/10. I ordered 53 chicks and 3 were dead on arrival. Since then I have lost 13! I thought at first it was due to the long shipping and some of the SS Hamburgs were little and seemed weak, which I lost all of them.
I don't know what to do! I have contacted Ideal and they will replace my losses, but I don't even want to look in the brooder anymore!
They are in a temp controlled brooder with fresh food and water, they have had sugar water and everything. They just suddenly get weak and then die. I have 4 other chicks and keets that are about 5-6 weeks old now and they are thriving (in another area of course)
Is it just a waiting game?
