Thank you so much! The food now is a crumble (mine hate the pellets) and is pretty bang on with the stats you provided + or .5% I appreciate your help and your time. <3
I am so sorry, I am just now seeing this. I tried to do the necropsy too but couldn't find anyone in my area available. We have buried all our chickens in the same place where we bury the cats/dogs that pass. They are like pets to us and I have been beating myself up pretty bad for this new...
