We've been in it since yesterday morning around 10am. And the snow is still falling.

Hope you don't get it as bad as we are Meg!

Awe, man! Are you staying home for Thanksgiving?

Awe, man! Are you staying home for Thanksgiving?

Was that a rhetorical question ?

Good to know, Shad!

I only commented because I used to hold chicks something like that and once when I had a chick at the vets the vet told me off for doing it.
She says, because the chick often struggles you apply more pressure with four fingers which are point sources of pressure without realising how much force you are applying.
Chicks bones haven't hardened and around the ribs and joints it's easy to place pressure on internal organs.
So, she showed me how it's done. She does most of her examination and treatment with the chicken standing on a table. When the chicken struggles, she lets it go and gently guides it back to where she wants it. After a while the chicken seems to realizes you're not trying to kill it and relaxes. I've watched her stitch chickens as they stood on the table, wash out a broken egg, examine eyes and ears...............
I've been doing what she told me for a few years now and mostly the chicks and adults behave.
