Sadly the one circled in pink died. It was not as lively last night. Got home from work it wasn’t moving. Tried getting it to drink with no luck. I was holding it and it started shaking kinda seizure like...

Maybe Marek's disease. Oof

Sorry for your loss, it's very sad.
The EEs are the best, I've always liked mine a lot. Egg colors may vary, but that's okay too.
Go back and get more?!

That's an extreme conclusion.
Mareks doesn't even show until birds are older....
....all deaths have 'seizures'(death throes).

We are looking to get a few chicks and were thinking of going to Tractor Supply - are they typically sexed right? Breed isn’t super important to us

It depends if you want sexed don’t buy straight run. Those are not sexed. Some breeds can be sexed and other can not until they are older...

Our TSC says they are all sexed - last year we got some elsewhere and got a lot of roosters!!

They are after they go to sleep(after all bedtime stories are told),
especially if you are using a plate instead of a light.
