MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

I don't believe most breeders are aware that their chicks have health problems. There are doubtless some that don't care and that is just one of the problems with many backyard breeders.

I'm sure there's a lot of truth in what you say. Naivety instead of unethical conduct. It's those who do know better (or should know better) I'm thinking of.

I'm slightly reeling from the most recent season.

From four eggs, four chicks, and three pullets there's one hen and one pullet left.

Two. Out of eleven.

I could give you similar stats from the year of Phyllis' hatch and Sylvie & Legertha. Sadly I think we all have years like that. Try not to let it discourage you too much.

Me too.

I was already struggling when Marek's cropped up.

It really was a gruelling season.

Me too.

You surely have.
