I have never had chicks die on me before. I lost six out of 10. One was DOA and a couple could barely stand when they were put in the brooder, only an hour after the post office notified me of arrival. Several times they would chirp loudly and I would find them on their backs. I put them to water multiple times but noticed that many of them never returned on their own. My guess is that this breed does not travel well. 4 of the 5 starlight died. One of the four survivors is an Americana, which I did not want as I already have many. Was a little disappointed that it was included in this pack.

All arrived healthy and alive and almost a month later haven lost any chicks

I ordered 10 chicks thru tractor supply at a cost of $106. When they arrived I had a box of 3 live chicks, 3 barely live chicks and 4 dead chicks. Not what I call a good average. You got me this time but it won't happen again

They all are healthy and growing fast.
