I just checked on them 2and half hours home, eyes are open, they are eating like crazy and know where the water is. The ones with eyes closed in pics have eyes open and hunting for food.

Do you have any nutri-drench? I give my freshly hatched chicks as well as any shipped chicks 2-3 straight doses 8 hours apart to give their systems a little boost. It will at least be wise to have a small bottle on hand in case any of them start looking floppy.

I don't, I always stick to handy egg yolk mix and electrolight.

Got it. I think that the Nutri-drench has somethings special about it that makes it more easily absorbed. It is meant to be diluted in water like your electrolytes, but I give a drop of it straight. I've had chicks that were having a hard time balancing after hatch, I give them a drop of Nutri-drench and within 5 minutes they can hold their heads up without flipping over on their backs.

one thing that was nice about these guys is they were all on their feet, the 3 I tended to when they first came in because they were upright but eyes closed, now everyone is eyes open no more sleepy birdies, can hardly catch them to pose for pics.

I think your three sleepy chicks were probably suffering from cold more than the others. Looks like they've perked up nicely.
