New Hampshire Stright Run

I ordered 15 New Hampshire chicks and 10 Speckled Sussex. I had 1 arrive dead flat as a pancake. Assuming they piled. They looked chilled and I could NOT put enough heat in them. Brooder just wouldn't go higher. I added a second heat lamp to stop the piling. Local Central Sort Facility had them for 36 hours according to scan before shipping. I'm assuming they were in the Air Conditioning. I lost 2 more to piling. After 3 days to get the chill out of them they took off. 3 weeks old haven't 1 since. Happy healthy chicks doing great growing like weeds. Will order from Welp again. Thinking some Rhode Island Reds in the mix.
