Morning . Cloudy and cool with rain coming . Possibly snow in the morning . Snow for sure a little north of me . 6-8 inches in Chicago area . What the hey .

I used to like winter, but this is ridiculous.

On the plus side, all the chicks and poults in my tractor are still alive.

I have one little meatie that hurt itself somehow. I kept him/her inside when I put the rest in the tractor. He’s in the poults’ old brooder. He was scooting around on his elbows and doing the splits.

I hobbled his legs together with vet tape, not expecting it to really help him. (Great stuff!) I really thought I was gonna have to cull him. I had to lift him up so he could drink, and move him around regularly so he wasn’t marinating his little backside in poop.

After several days, he is now short-stepping around like a prisoner headed to a court hearing, but he’s consistently standing up tall like a real chicken.He’s been doing this for a couple days and I’m thinking about removing the shackles or at the least giving him a little wider stance. I’m afraid he might re-injure himself though, if I go too fast.

Opinions?

Well, there's that one in a million chance. I mean, lotteries have been won on less.

I have no idea but it sounds like you know what you're doing so just follow your instincts.
