Deb that's sad

but I'm glad for the ones out so far. Did you get any Polish? And have the BCM's come through? I am sending good vibes in your direction

 

[MissDeb]

Nope, no Polish at all. I do however have another order on the way.....I was just at triple D drooling over all their little polish and wanting
to curb my motherly instinct with buying a couple but I didnt..Most of them had leg problems they were getting over. I guess the AMF feed has
something lacking in it, no fault of Triple D but most their birds right now are having troubles. The State Vet is on it, and having it corrected I guess? AMF changed their formula I'm told....Triple D is suggesting
anyone feeding AMF feed to supplement with vitamins.

Anyhow, my Heritage Del eggs are here! Not one Broken....Thank you for the extras Michelle!! (shellyb)

I have 3 of my little Dellies out and the rest have all pipped and working on getting out. The BCMs have done nothing......

Yikes! I plan to pick up Cornishx next week. Any idea on their situation? Or is this just the older birds?

ETA: I do nto use AMF. When I asked for a soy free mix, they looked at me like I had 3 heads

 

[MissDeb]

Nope, this was every chick I looked at. From Cornish Cross, Black Giants, Polish, Araucana's....you name it, about half of each breed was down on
its haunches or curled toes.

Yikes! What would you rec then?
Should we wait a few weeks?

 

[MissDeb]

Your getting your birds from Triple D?

 

[PaulaJoAnne]

Talked to DH and he said lets wait a few weeks for everything to settle down for them at the hatchery
I am going to run out and give our broodies that are sitting on dummie eggs, the real deal.

We usually do. I don't like ordering out of state.

I see, well we stopped getting them from Tony when we found Whelp was much cheaper and shipping is free...
