I'm sorry for your damage. We lost 3 chickens yesterday, I can't say it was due to the weather, but it's still very discouraging to have an animal die under your care, and 3 in one day is worse. I'm hoping that is all, if more chicks die today I'm not sure what I'll do.
And I had a newly hatched chick drown this week. Still kicking myself over that one too.
I did have some fun giving the chicks a chopped up hard boiled egg. Some figured it out and the others saw it and much activity ensued.
Sorry for your loss!

We have a Food Saver... it has been worth it's weight in gold for fish and chicken in particular... but I also do meatballs, lasagna and pigs in the blankets by the roaster full, and cookies 10 or 20 dozen at a time and it allows me to cook in bulk and save in serving sizes, which is awesome!
Ours is an upright model with a 'gentle' option (which is good on numerous things)... it is a more expensive model but we have used it literally a thousand times and it still works without fail.
I found my foodsaver at the local thrift store for $5.00, and I get the rolls of bags of of ebay. Love it and use it a lot. My husband loves yonanas (soft serve made entirely from frozen bananas and fruit and we freeze individual portions of bananas for this purpose a lot.
The price sheet with options is a good idea. That way the customer does the parts they want done & you charge by how much work you do.
I just snagged 1 on e-bay that should be here tomorrow or Monday. I just used ziplock bags last year but didn't like them. I think the roll bags will work much better.
A price sheet where they can check off options and sign it at the bottom.

Hope you all weathered the storm alright!
Confession alert: my chickens were supposed to be outside last night for the first time, but I caved when I saw a a nasty set of thunderstorms on the way and all the stupid chickys (now 10-11 weeks old) were in a corner underneath the coop.
