They are from my layer pen. They were so bad, my husband even said keeping them alive despite the mutiple efforts was just CRUEL! They were really sick, wings dropped, no balance and all. My other birds exile them ...............
i do sell chicks but they never meet the ground. Straight from the brooder boxes to the client.
I believe you made the right decision in culling them. I know it's hard on us humans, but they don't have to suffer anymore and are in a good place doing what chickens do
the 2 chickens were named after my daughter and her BFF. They really were bad, i know i did the right thing. Just feels horrible taking life............
