Petrock I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Animal illness is just so not fun. When I saw Samson yesterday standing with his neck hanging off to the side and drooling my heart hurt so bad. The wound on his neck is large and infected. Caught too late. He hid it well, very well.

I marked the eggs and shoved them under Betty. I'm not sure when I can get over to Jeff's although he offered. Is there anyway I can remove them later and run them over if needed? On the upside- with the delay it would be easier to tell what chicks are hers.

I do have some concerns with Betty's broody ability though. She is dedicated but the eggs are all over the place under her. Some are under her, some on the outer skirts somewhat chilled...I want to trust her lol...

I think you should let Broody Betty do her job, they don't need micro managing. Check no more then ONCE a day, better yet, every other day to make sure the other hens are not adding eggs. If they're adding eggs, set up a fence to deter them. That's what I did with my Polish. I put a portable dog kennel around her box on the bottom of my brooder, just like Betty's and I covered it. The other girls stopped laying eggs in there and when the chicks hatched, the older ones were able to get out and eat and drink and mom stayed on the nest longer.

I hatched my first ever Crele Laced Polish chipmunk patterned chick yesterday. Up until now, the chicks always hatched a mousy grey. My goal is to one day create an auto-sexing polish.

I'm guessing this one's boy....or a very "big boned" girl! Cute is a given!

Does anyone have any experience with this or opinions. I think it sounds pretty amazing...not sure I would completely switch feed but maybe as a supplement???

I just got an email about it this am rom Farmtek...

ACK!!! never mind it's so expensive... but the analysis shows that if you have them only eat this, it saves $$$

Debi/Pet Rock you are super good at researching things like this...I'd love to know what you think...probably a good thing for raising Bresse too I would imagine, but sounds like would create the BEST eggs
