Gosh, you have had a bad chicken year. So sorry Elevan.

It's this stupid weather mainly. A lot of Ohio farms have had a bad year for poultry this year. I've decided that I'm gonna bring my chicken flock down to about 15 birds or so to supply us with plenty of eggs. My guineas have done great this year unless they got stupid and refused to come to the coop and got ate by a coon, but weather and other things haven't affected them...so maybe I'll go more the direction of guineas.

Crybaby (Daisy's other kid) was found dead yesterday. Daisy is grieving greatly. What happened? We're not 100% sure.

Sorry Emily
Will you have a necropsy done to figure out what may have happened?

Probably not, DH has some suspicions on what happened that I'd rather not share right now. It's just really frustrating. We weren't gonna keep him, he would have been raised to a fair weight and sent to slaughter.

Hope things get better for you.

Man, that sucks. I am so sorry. It hurts to loose them, even if they are destined for the freezer.
