Hmmm, ran across this interesting tidbit. Supposedly GMOs have caused liver, kidney and pancreas disease in animals:

I never gave them grit. They seem to eat small pebbles.

Mine alternate so I give them a mix

Sending out prayers too people waiting for serious operations.

My garden helpers mother is having her bladder removed due too eating the wrong foods and my dear friend's daughter in law with young children, finding out she has cancer after having a coil removed. It was missed 4 times but now it's been discovered

So silkie egg number 2 was just laid. I happened to be walking by and peeked in on the girls and saw Chiquita lay it. I'm going to assume the first egg was hers also. Now the agonizing part. Do I or do I not save up a few and incubate them. If I incubate them and they hatch I will have to take into consideration the miserable February and March weather we could get. I cannot predict how it will be that far out, but it has already been colder this year then last and we've had more snow as well. I do have my new Christmas present the brooder plate here and ready to go, so I will not have to worry about using a heat lamp. If I just hatch silkies, they will not grow as fast as my previous chicks so if I limit myself to 5 or 6 eggs, they wont outgrow their indoor brooder as quickly. The practical side of me is saying wait, but, these are Chiquita's eggs, and when I picked her up she was housed with her previous owners Buff and White silkie males. Assuming they are fertile, this could be my only shot with her to hatch out the greatest chance for Buff chicks. When she is put with Branch, odds are her chicks will be black. What to do, what to do. Help fluffy butt friends.

Personally I would take a chance and keep them . I don't know what our wise gals and guys would do

I can believe that. I've always had fears of GMO in foods
