Very weak 2 day old chick ordered online

Meyers hatchery. She recovered nicely.

Meyers hatchery is a terrible site to order from. I ordered three Silkie chicks for 75$ and only one had the strength to live. One was very weak and suddenly died after I tended to it constantly. The other had seizures and passed. Meyers over breeds (possibly inbreeding as well), therefore making genetically weak birds that suffer.

Not sure about silliest, but I have ordered twice and had 1 doa out of 10 and none out of 12..compared to 20 tsc chicks 8 survived 24 hours ( hoover, picked up within 4 hours of arrival at tsc)
