24 hours after the chicks have been home 13 have died. All the yellow chicks are dead and have black eyes. Concussion? 13 of 25!! It makes me think someone rattled the box along the way. That makes me so mad! We have to call the hatchery and tell them that half my chicks are dead now :(
The rest are looking good so far.
Yesterday we got a call from the Feed Store saying they have a reputable person needing 1-2 roosters. Yay! We talked to the lady. Her last name is the same as the Nursery Mom used to go to on occasion between Belton and Nolanville. Well she called back and her friend wants the other 2! All 4 roosters get a new home. YAY!!! We deliver them in a couple days. When the chicks get a littler bigger they'll move to the area the roosters have been in. Then after that will get to integrate with the rest of the hens :)
