What is this? Baby chicks sent from the Netherlands to Germany were found dead on arrival. Too little air in the boxes may have caused this.
What's happening? A shipment of day-old chicks arrived with many dead inside. The company is now checking how the birds were packed.
Does this affect me? If you ordered chicks from the Netherlands recently, your order may have been part of this shipment.
What should I do? Call the seller or your vet to ask if your chicks are safe. Do not use any chicks that seem weak or dead.
