Agreed!!! Exactly right speckled hen....Some of you all may have seen my comments about the restorative powers of raw milk. I use Buttermilk (homemade goat milk cultured for my poultry) and also keifer and the whey from my cheese making (very little salt in it...I have a custom recipe)! We breed for healthy birds.... We don 't help baby birds out of the shell. The "real Mothers" don't and neither should we. We don't in breed. We've only been raising birds for over 5 years and learned a lot along the way. We don't buy from hatcheries.... We isolate any income birds for a minimum of one month...We are particular. We have over 400 birds, 50 rabbits, bunnies, 8 milk goats, 20 geese and 25 ducks. We work on health with them, free access and roaming ability (all except bunnies). We monitor their pen, feed, behavior. Sometimes I might spend 2 hours a day squatting and watching the animals.... It's work! I learn things this way. I'm so in tune with them, that I can tell by their behavior things a vet will never know. Like a change in a squawk!!!
And it's fun having health in the animals, work and time and fresh water and fresh treats and love but ah to see them soo healthy! Is the reward and joy! Love, hugs and prayers to all...Nancy
