I'm feeling like we've had a tough year birds wise, but my husband assures me that we really haven't. We've lost 4 adult hens that were some favorites in there, one fell from rafters, one fell in the old feeder, and two died I believe due to something they ate or maybe being egg bound but they had no real symptoms and later we found milkweed and tiger Lillie's where they were hanging out so I think that that's why... We lost one of 7 chick we bought, the next morning it was dead and of the 109? chicks we hatched we had three cross beaks that didn't make it ... And anything I didn't assist hatch because it seems they were prone to it and assist hatching seems to be the catalyst... And we lost the one that got scalped... We had one get plucked around the head and had to be separated from his age group, one has sort of a thick leg now from a band issue and one hen had what's it called... That thing with the foot scab you have to treat... Anyway that's been this years sort of
Does that seem excessive as far as catastrophes :-/ we have about 100 birds that are fine but still I feel bad basically anytime an animal isn't well. Also my rooster is molting lol and totally looks rediculious.
Anyway on the up side I hatched a lot of healthy chicks that are growing up well and we've even found homes for some of the cockerels and sold lots of pullets and straight run chicks and everyone seems to be getting along just fine... I am really looking forward to next years mixs with some of these mixes mixed in I think we will get quite the mix. We did manage to hatch a cockerel of a breed we have a lot of pullets of and we can't wait to breed him... Lots of ups and downs... Oh also we are slow on our garden but got some recent rain and it looks like it's starting to produce!

Since you never answered my question from yesterday about them I didn't know if I was supposed to do anything with them last night.

Why not? Because that is to much work for that early in the morning.
