    Introducing Crackhead-confirmed She made it through the night #1. So my final advice would be if you decide to toss them... maybe do autopsies first ;). Hope things get better for you in Texas!!!

    Is it ok if chickens eat raw salmon?

    Raw Salmon must be frozen to kill any worm/parasite eggs... yes all farmed and wild salmon may have it... so if your sushi chef hasn't frozen it ;) good luck to you. After being frozen you're ALL GOOD! Chickens' will love it :)
