Just had to put it into the IMG box in the composition field. Either do that or put the

I ordered fifteen chicks in November to be shipped this past Monday, not knowing how bad this winter was going to be!!

They're in the mail right now and I'm SUPER worried.

Go to Tractor Supply and buy a bottle of Bovidr Labs Poultry Nutri-Drench. It is great stuff. Just excellent for stress in shipped chicks. Here, read the website, 860,000+ birds aren't wrong: http://nutridrench.com/poultry-1.html The tabs across the top of the page give more information.
I have been using Nutri Drench and Nutri-Drops on my birds and collies for over a decade. It does not need digesting! Shuts directly to the bloodstream. 50% uptake in 15 minutes. 99% uptake in 30 minutes. Very concentrated. The bottle is less than 10. and will last you all season. It is the cheapest price i have ever found i the whole USA. The chicks just need a drop or two ( really) by mouth. The bottle comes with a dropper in the lid. Put it I their water for the fist week you have them. travel stresses their digestive systems and they don't uptake all the nutrition you are feeding them during this time. The Nutri-Drench makes up for that and also gives them quick energy. Nutri-Dench is better than Sav-A-Chick or electrolytes because it has added ingredients and molasses. Plus Nutri-Drench does not need to be digested. Birds love it!
Best,
Karen in Ligonier.

@ [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR][COLOR=333333]dheltzel, that little Silkie roo is adorable!  Good luck finding him a good home.  I don't blame you for wanting him to go to someone you at least know.  All the more reason I can not wait for Spring or at least warmer weather.  I've gotta get my coop and run extended.  All the while we were building last Spring I had this nagging feeling in my gut that we should go bigger.  But as usual I didn't listen to my gut and speak up.  And now here we are with a coop designed for 5 chickens but big enough for 10 and me wanting 15.  XD  And DH grumbling that if I'd wanted it bigger why didn't I just say something in the first place.  You'd think I'd learn after all these  years...[/COLOR]

I did find a great home for him, PAchickenlover has a lonely silkie hen. And that makes room for 2 lavender Ameracauana roos that I want/need for this year's breeding program. It's gonna be a 3-way rooster swap once the weather cooperates. All the roosters end up in places where they are valued, it's a win for everyone (especially the roos, who get hens instead of getting culled).

Yes he will have a great home. I am blessed to be able to have him join my little hen. :) He is a welcome addition!

I seems like I am in the minority, but I'm greatly enjoying this winter weather. I think of all the gardeners, that will have a substantially less number of harmful bugs and diseases in their gardens (I am also a gardener). I think in the long run this hard winter will benefit us more than we can imagine. It might be difficult to deal with it now, but I strongly believe it will leave us with a lot of positive side effects in this next year.

I agree about the benefits of winter killing bugs. Hopefully it eliminates much of the tick population. 2 of my dogs had a vet appt yesterday & one tested positive for ehrlichia and one for lyme (his second time, despite immunization)

And I'm all like "No, but the chickens spent the winter hanging out in the BARN with a dozen HORSES to generate body heat and keep them warm! We don't have a BARN or HORSES "

Needless to say, I won and at least my chickens have a covered run to chill in instead of being stuck in the coop all winter.

Isn't that an excuse for you to get horses? and a barn?

And that's the best win of all.
Too many gorgeous roos end up in the stewpot every year simply because they're not needed or can't find their way to the people who WOULD want them.
Glad to hear this rooster story has a happy ending.

I have an ailing roo in a dog crate in my living room. My splash Marans roo must have gotten beaten up by his mates in the bachelor pen, and he was huddled in a corner of the pen, so I took pity on him, brought him inside, and made him some oatmeal. I was going to put him in the basement, and DH pointed out that there's no reason he can't stay upstairs by the fire.

Whiskey, one of my dogs, took it upon himself to lay beside the crate protecting him from any of the other dogs coming too close. It was so sweet.
