Okay I called, and they said to call back on Wednesday to give the total number of deaths and hopefully no more will die

and unfortunatly the little turken died

i went to go check on them and he/she was gone. But I do have 2 other turkens one is the chimpmunk coloring and the other is a white/red color and they are doing good, but all of my sultans have died, and my crevecoers were looking a little ify too but they seem to be doing much better. So I guess I will take the extra order from them. Pictures are coming soon.

PP, I'm so sorry about your loses. So sad.

PP How's your weather out there? If your getting the weather we've had over the last few days then your next shipment should be ok. Good luck! Keep us posted. I had ordered 81 chicks so I know how you feel.

Well I'm in CT and the weather has been nice the past few days, and I checked the weather next week and its suppose to be in the 40's here and in Iowa so they should be okay. I was think that when I order my next batch maybe I add in 10 RIR or something for warmth.

Good idea of adding in some for warmth. We are having snow right now, but it's only flurries.

Just a few more days. I expect our order from Ideal to be here on Friday. Everything is ready for them(25 chicks, 3 ducks, 2 geese). I can't add anything else to the order. Just sitting here twiddling my thumbs...waiting, waiting, waiting.

I just put in an order for 50, I got 10 extras for warmth. They are coming the 3rd. I hope these guys make it. And MMH said to call on friday and they would either send me another order(but I already ordered more) or store credit, so I guess I'll just take the store credit, it should be around $50-100. So once again I'm still in the waiting group

Another 2 died, so that means 12 have died and I havn't even had them for 24hours, not even 12 hours! I did order more I just hope these ones make it okay. If not I think I will have to order from Ideal next time.

Sorry for your losses PP. I lost 3 and that was really hard on me. Are you putting sugar in their water? That might help give them a boost of energy to get through. Good luck with them

I'm on day 19 on my hatch. Things should start happening tomorrow I hope.
