What are you going to do with 135 chicks?!?!
Sorry if maybe I've asked before and you've answered but I just CRS.

I have a firm order for 70 and two others who want 25, and I need some for restocking.

I’ve already chatted with Bob about this... but I thought I’d let you all know as well:

It rained REALLY hard last night, and the coop Mylie and her 9 chicks were in was flooded. 2 of the chicks were sprawled out lifeless on the coop floor.... I dryed them the best I could and popped them into the incubator. I brought Mylie and the rest of the chicks in and dryed them off and set them up in the garage. All but 1 are up and doing great. This one can’t even hold itself upright. I gave it a bit of water & nutri-drench.

As you can tell the rest are already making messes. So I’m confident these ones will all make it:

Sorry to hear about your littles.
You might try putting it in a bowl, or something similar where it is 'forced' to stand up.
I had several pheasants that were half grown get hypothermia during Hurricane Harvey, laying in the pen 'lifeless', I thought for sure they were dead or wouldn't make it. I put them in a hatcher and once they got warmed up again, they had no lasting ill effects from the hypothermia.
It might just take yours a little longer to adjust.

What are they going to do with so many? Eat them?

He'll eat the extra cockerels but he's starting his own breeding program. And he sells the extra eggs. These are Barred Holland chicks from Suzanne Holland's flock originally. I started out with two dozen hatching eggs.
