. But later Butters (structural engineer, based on her inspection of the perch concrete blocks last year as @featherhead007 noted) said it's too early to judge the structural integrity, and she's right. 
Thanks for asking. The birds seem fine. I’m still sad, but grateful to have been there and focused on the fact that, aside from Ruby, who had an incredible will to live and LOTS if intervention, the chickens dying seem to be the young ones. I think that’s a clue.
? what does that mean? Unfortunately, I'm clueless. I certainly hope that it wasn't the chicks you got were bad stock. I'll have to reread... the last month in my 'catch-up' effort......
Lots of hugs & love sent your way...
It’s not a clue after all. I just suck at taking care of chickens. I just saw the prelim report snd Sunshine died of a fatty liver hemorrhage. I’m so sad about that and don’t understand how a young, low ranked hen could be fat in my flock. This is an ongoing problem in my flock, despite trying to slim them down. I need to ration feed again.? what does that mean? Unfortunately, I'm clueless. I certainly hope that it wasn't the chicks you got were bad stock. I'll have to reread... the last month in my 'catch-up' effort......
Don’t be too hard on yourself… it’s incredibly common in laying hens. I really think that our perfectly balanced nutrition rations are a little too much for many hens to live long and healthy lives. When you think about a more natural environment, their forage would be far less rich and nutrient dense.
You do not suck at taking care of chickens. Do not draw that conclusion.
We’ll send some Cassowary eggs over.Next it will be Emus…
Why not skip emu and go straight to ostrich?Next it will be Emus…
