Ok, I have an issue that is bothering me. I purchased 6 Black Copper Marans and 6 Wheaten Marans from a breeder. They sent 2 extra, so I had 14 in all. One was destroyed in transit, so I had 13. I place these into the incubator and 2 began to weep, so I removed those. I then had 11 left. At the end of incubation, I had 4 clear, 4 Wheaten Marans, one of them needed to be culled since it had neurological and gross motor problems (with very small eyes) and wouldn't eat or drink and began to suffer, 2 Black Coppers died late in development, one of which was facially deformed with a crossed beak (didn't even want to look at the other one). Is this bad genetics, poor handeling during transit, or is it from incubation even though I had no extremes what so ever? Do I ask for a refund? I need advice please.
