The chicks arrived on a Thursday. The following Monday. I found a snake (someone's escaped boa) in the brooder with a belly full of chicks! Agh!!! It seems the chick fiasco will never end!
Well, it's now been a couple weeks and we have stopped loosing birds on a daily basis. After a certain age, they seem to stop dying. We don't have any where near the number we need, but we're closer than we were. Next time, we'll just stick with buying frozen ones. I found a supplier who sells them for dog food. Ok, it's "dog food" but they're USDA approved and fit for human consumption, so it really doesn't matter. So, we'll get the balance we need from them.
