Last week I received the baby chicks I ordered back in February and within the first 48 hours 5 died. The chicks were en route during the two hottest days of that week and expected to lose a few because of the stress of being in the mail. Today, I went to Tractor Supply to look for an electric fence energizer for the chicken run, since my neighbors are not a fan of the chickens, but they were out of stock of the size I needed so I purchased 8 chicks instead. I figured I would replace the ones that died so I can make a little profit from selling them when I butcher them and still have some meat left for me.
