    Yikes.... One eaten... nothing left but 1 wing, a foot and some internal organs. Everyone in the hospital it OK. The other are preening the grease off playing with hay catching bugs that are coming to the light. A few are grouped together away from the light. This can't be happening.

    I have a small group of chick that arrived March 25. The started out with a little pecking and it has progressed into full blown cannibalism. Nothing let but wings and feet. I am desperate. The hatchery told me that I should kill them that it won't stop. I just hate to do that.. I don't...
