    Heat wave & chicks

    What's the right thing to do?

    I am going to try the non surgical approach first. I have watched the surgery procedures and am not comfortable doing that. But if there is no other way I'll have to put on my big girl pants and do it.

    What's the right thing to do?

    I think they were broken or the chickens from his previous owners pulled them.
