I is tired! Been going non-stop for what seems forever, and no end in sight! Was hoping to get rafters on the new coop today, but the thunderstorms decided it wasn't a good day for that. Did manage to get a little finish job on the nesting boxes for the BR pullets... who have decided to start laying. At least one of them has. I knew once their combs and wattles turned red, it would be any day. Tiny eggs, but I suppose I could make an eggmcmuffin out of it:



Compared to my red's eggs:

I'm not here to tell anyone they aren't doing the right thing if they have problems culling. As I said, it's one of the hardest things I do and I put it off as long as possible - usually too long. But, taking one to a vet doesn't necessarily make it more humane nor quicker.
One can do it quickly at home for no money.
If I had to pay to do it, I couldn't keep chickens.

I agree, I did just take a dead one to a vet, thinking they would do the necropsy. They spent 5 minutes talking to me about the situation the chicks are kept in- then saying he thought we'd be better off shipping the chick off for a free necropsy at UC Davis. Cost me $180. 70 for an office exam - new patient, remaining shipping charges for shipping the bird for me. Most expensive item - fed ex.

I will never use that vet....what kind of exam did they give a dead chick?????
