How y'all up north, out west, can handle this cold is beyond me 😕 It's 33 with winds here and I'm a frozen mess! Just can't get warm to feel comfortable.😖 Those minus numbers at numbing.

Plus, a slip & slide on ice yesterday left a couple pulls that are sensitive on a leg today. Woohoo, those dance moves will getcha 😁

I know you've probably tried it - but some karo syrup might help the lethargy. Helped with one of mine last year.
She just crashed last night. Was not swallowing by the time I thought to try it. Thanks for the prompt though. Technically she’s alive but not reacting. Damn I hate to lose them. Going down the list, milk should have been ok, environment clean and quiet, temperature in tub hovered in the mid 60’s to upper 50’s no drafts. As countless stock keepers and Yorkshire clients of James Herriot say “These things happen”.

I hatched 7 chicks last May from a dozen eggs that went through the mail. Two days later one of them was not doing well. I tried giving it some electrolytes. I checked later and it wasn't with the broody mother, found it buried in a corner, dead. Mom knew what to do. I think the term is "failed to thrive". It's still sad, though.
