Box stuff is NOT lasagna!!! It has to have noodles, a good spaghetti sauce, Gianelli Hot Italian sausage and ground beef, cheddar, mozarella, ricotta, parm. It's even better if you make the lasagna roll ups: http://goodrecipesbyamy.blogspot.co...d-max=2015-01-01T00:00:00-05:00&max-results=2

World’s Best Lasagna
Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
• 3/4 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
• 2 6.5-ounce Tomato Sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 12 lasagna noodles
• 16 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Cooking Directions
In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

One of my Easter HAL chicks is acting sick. He is gasping for air, constantly breathes very heavy with his beak open.
They are still in the brooder with heat lamp, so I don't think its gape worm. He sits off by himself and doesn't seem to be eating or drinking. I just noticed it last night and tried to drip some electrolyte water on his beak with my fingers but I don't think he drank much.

The others all seem fine.

After a bit of research people said it might be either chick pneumonia (from fungus that can grow in brooders) or a hereditary heart problem that will make him weaker and weaker. Either way, it doesn't look good....

How sad!

Check to see if there is something stuck in his throat. Look up coccidiosis symptoms too.
