Experienced breeders please help.

I was wondering what the survival rate was on various spawns. I have a spawn (PB x Blue Turk)that a little more than two months old have seem to lost around 30% of them already. I have a larger spawn (same parents) that is now 1 month old and have only lost five out of around 70 so far.

Is this typical or do I have a poor survival rate.

Thanks

30% is too high. A few fail to thrive or get eaten - maybe 10% is average

I loose maybe 5-6 out of every 100. Those that I loose normally have a genetic defect and I would have culled those anyway.
