I was going to say that is looks like frostbite to me. The toes have died and are getting ready to fall off. I'm with Bee too, and I'm glad you're going to be brave and do the right thing.

Just look at them! They've got it all over the place! Not to mention each other!

As long as there is gravel to be eaten, I don't see why not.

Not yet, but I plan to get some mosquito fish this spring and give it a go.

Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup to the chemical ACV. Then you have to let it sit in your dark cupboard for a few weeks. It needs to breathe too so I put part of a coffee filter over the top and secure it with a rubber band. Add about 1 tablespoon of the ACV to a gallon of water. Whole grains...

They won't. The only time mine ever do is if I keep them on the dry stuff too long. These chicks are two and three days old... enjoying their ff!

Feather Fixer - ferment away. I do. Someone suggested getting some hardware cloth to wrap the bottom of your feed bucket in so they cannot chew it. I would probably use 1/4" hardware cloth or real wire screen.

He obviously has some sort of imbalance in there. I would get some plain yogurt and give him a tablespoon of that all mixed in too, with each meal until he shows improvement. Then you can cut back on the yogurt a bit and see how he does. Good luck.

You can slow your dog's digestion by adding a small amount of a good oil to his food (say olive oil?) and/or a bit of shredded cheese. The fats seem to slow digestion... unless you decide to wait it out. Just a suggestion. I elevate my chicks' feed dish. The older/stronger they are, the...

Those three mystery chicks will love the ff just as well as the others... and it will make them so much healthier to boot!

That's good to know about the antibiotic qualities and longevity. I guess minced garlic in a jar won't work then. Thanks for sharing that little tid bit. For a light source for candling eggs, I use my mini-mag light. I took the lens out of the cap and it is able to be pressed right up...

I just had a thought. If you put them in a type of broody coop so that the eggs roll out and away from them, maybe give them just barely enough food to survive (for a short time) and put some kind of goodies in their food that they like... forcing them to look forward to their proper food...

Chocolate mouse, do you have something hanging in front of your nests to make it dark inside? Or would it be possible to make a door on the nest that will lock closed to keep the bird in the nest as well as keep any others from getting in? That's something you may want to try for those two...

Take some of your dry crumbles and mix them into your fermented crumbles until the ff is quite dry. That will get them used to the flavor. When they're eating that really well, try leaving it just a tiny bit wetter the next time you serve and keep going like that . Before you know it...

You don't need any kind of medicated starter, just make sure their innards are well stocked with beneficial bacteria.

Good job RoseMarie! You're gonna love that ff flavor!

Anytime at all will be fine. You may need to add just a splash every so often, or not, depends on your situation and desires.

DMRippy has some cream legbar crosses that are called SBEL (super blue egg layers) - aka: a blue egg layer crossed with a white egg layer, makes for bigger eggs and more of 'em. Also, cjwaldon has them. I think both of these ladies are fairly close to you.
