Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

I would marry someone for ayam cemanis.

On the immigration front, I'm having some issues of my own. Turns out that our city hall forgot to send information in our file stating we don't pay rent, food, petrol, car insurance, or income taxes (since we technically live with his parents and the taxes are handled by his employer) and Brussels denied my immigration request. Husband apparently doesn't make enough to support two.

Luckily I have a valid US passport and really good lawyers who are fighting the deportment request AND trying to reverse the decision. Have any of you had a similar issue?
yikes

hopefully you get it sorted
 
Hey Everybody,

Hope all is going well for everybody. Today was a much better day than yesterday for me.
I lost two more chicks yesterday, both Australorp. The odd thing is it is the most healthy looking
ones. And it puzzles me because there is no apparent reason for their death. Both had no
visible signs like a discharge from their nostrils and no pasty butt. I had the same thing happen
in the USA when I received my 25 Australorp. All of the RIR's seem to be doing fine. I feed them
chick booster for about 2 weeks and then switch over to layer chick starter. I also them mashed
up boiled eggs for the probiotics in them. Anybody have any thoughts about the SCD syndrome?
They are one week old today.

Thanks

Jimmy

I am not sure what is happening with them. I checked to see if we had any deaths in the brooder with those chicks hatch buddies but they are doing fine.

I hope they settle down
 
Thanks Oz.

The remaining ones are as energetic as can be. SCD Syndrome is just something I made up because of a lack of any clue as to what happened. It stands for Sudden Chick Death Syndrome.

I have heard that some chicks will die about a week after receiving them and it is thought to be delayed stress related. I don't know if there is any truth to that or not.

Hope all is going well for you and your family and the new employee situation.

Jimmy
