Hello all! We picked up some new chicks this past Sunday from a local breeder. We got 10 RIR and 6 Brown(?) Sex Links. We've lost two so far. I found one this morning and one tonight.
I know it's not atypical to lose a chick here and there, but this is our biggest batch so far and I don't know how many is "normal/acceptable"? We were thinking to reach out if we lose another.
They've got plenty of space, a heat lamp, access to food and water, and we've put electrolytes in their water as well upon setting them up here. I don't know what else we can do?
