Since most humans are at 37° most of the time; it seems more likely to be accurate than freezing point, cos 37° is closer to incubating temp so there'd not be the correct at 0/off at 38 problem that pops up now and then.

Just felt too lazy to convert to Fahrenheit.

Do they have many birds to chose from? Could you possibly check the structure of the bird? Or do you know the seller well enough? The hen I had shipped to me last year doesn't have the best structure and isn't laying as many eggs as the others. Still trying this structure thing out and on the ones I've been keeping it does seem to be making a difference

Do you have a good link about this?

Blood hound was caught carrying a chicken around today. Husband warned me to not let him outside unsupervised. He likes to carry around stuffed animals in the same way he was carrying said chicken. Chicken was slobbered on, but otherwise unharmed. I guess he's fond of the chickens. I don't see him mauling one, but I do seem him squishing one to death on accident in an attempt to carry it around like a stuffed animal.

Hubby yelled at him to drop it and the chicken teetered off as soon as he put it down.

Glad the chook was okay!
