I wanted to ask you all here how much should I sell buff orpington chicks once the feather out? I have to thin down some chickens. So I thought I would go with them.



They were the chicks my broodies were sitting on eggs.



Thanks, Helaine

I'm hoping so...in the meantime, I'm going to eat even healthier and hope that helps!

I am fearing the sticks you will have to have.
I have Raynaud's syndrom..and everytime in the cold hospital my veins shrink up and totally disapear, while extremities turn blue.
There is no blood flow.
I told them a few times NO bloodflow.
They give me hand warmers to place on my arms & hands to get the veins to puff up & stay open.
Maybe take some hand warmers (the chemical type) with you.
break a few open & shake, then place them on your anticubital fossa (inside elbow) and top of hand..see if that helps to keep the veins big & open..good luck sweetheart!!
When is this test?

That's a thought. I have poor circulation as is--and being preggo--all of my blood flow is not in my hands/arms anymore! Not that it was before I was preggy--but it's worse than ever now. It can be 90 degrees outside and my hands & feet are freezing! They are usually grayish-blue anyway.

The test is Monday morning at 8am. I usually sleep in as much as possible on my days off--but I wanted to go in, get it done and over with and be on my way for the rest of the day!

How many are having chicks that cannot walk and shells very thin despite great feed & lots of free ranging and oyster shell...I seriously think the culprit is lack of sunshine !!!!!!!

Guess we have to supplement (as I am doing) for the lack of sun we are missing this year~~

Yeah, but they didn't say if there was a safe supplement. Hmmmm......could we use polyvisol drops? Just throwing that out there.

Have a test for Raynaud's while you are at it.

Poly-Vi-sol for 30 birds is out of the question.
I gotta think more about this.
There has to be a large amount of supplement available somewhere~~~~~~~~~
