What happened?

I'm not sure. They were really acting ill yesterday, weak, droopy, lethargic, & didn't want to leave the heating plate.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Gonna see if Meyer Hatchery will send me replacements.

Shipping stress can last a few days, i think you said you gave them electrolytes and vitamins though?

Was the heat plate too warm?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Hopefully they will..

Okay, just got done getting my replacement chicks all set.

They'll be available on September 29th, which is okay.

Was the heat plate too warm?

Nope, I figured out that the heating pack they placed wasn't warm which chilled them on the way here.
