I called McMurray. They will replace. But it really had little to do with temps on my end. Temps in Iowa when they shipped these were very low. Much lower then here in CT. They had a bad snowstorm also. My chicks that didn't make it died most likely the first night. Decomposition was advanced. It wouldn't have mattered if they were being sent to a much warmer place.
I will say this. I have seen chicks come through my office every year for over 20 years. Until this year I had never seen the deaths I have seen. In fact, this is the first year we have seen ANY deaths! We are as surprised as anyone. We have seen chicks and live animals come thru all times of the year.
Believe me, if I had seen many die I wouldn't have ordered, and I doubt McMurray would make any profit if they had to replace the majority of chicks they sell this year if they all just die in transit.
My question is,
If I wait now, how will the much younger chicks do when I put them in with these I got today?
