Dixie Chicks

Mother $&@?!$
Got a messed up chick -sigh-
A loop of exposed it intestine and the yoke sack are exposed. It's super fiesty, idk I stuck it in a small cup full of damp tissue, in the bator. I just read some people manage to get the intestines back in... I'll try after some coffee. Good thing I'm past morning sickness. If that doesn't work I'll cull it.

Deb, more for you.

Beer can I have roll away nest boxes.
The one down side is you can't really use bedding so the birds don't always want to use them. Up side perfectly clean eggs. If you find a design that lets you use bedding Id love to see in. Of if you find a liner the birds like let me know. I've used rubber, and heavy duty carpet... Think maybe astro turf would be better.

 

[Beer can]

@hennible I just was looking online at a hatchery site that sells astro turf for nest boxes hmmm? Wondering if a fake egg or golf ball affixed to the liner might help?

 

[hennible]

I do that off and on, it does help. I should glue the fake eggs in place, they always nock them out eventually...

 

[hennible]

I culled the chick...
Someone hug me, my first cull.

Sam, it was the right thing to do. Hugs.

 

[hennible]

Thanks Felix.
It was.

Glad the worst part of it is having to behave yourself for awhile. You can do this!

Just in time for Lent!

I like lent after it gets rolling... But I hate the build up... No meat for over 40 days is painful for me. My lent is way later than y'lls this year.

That's what I like about agnosticism, no religion based dietary restrictions. I couldn't go 40 days without meat.
