Sad News

This evening I lost little Millicent, my 15 day old chic.
She couldn't eat and got weaker and weaker no matter what I did.
It wasn't any disease.  She had an impacted crop and nothing would move through her.
She finally just slept away.
It's sad to lose any living thing.

  3. :'( Well, she is in chickie heaven now... Im some sorry...
    You probably know this, but apple cider vinegar in their water is really beneficial! (1:10) My grandma used to give it to her chickens, along with flaxseed (good for nails, beaks and skin + everything else) and rec clover flowers are like a natural antibiotic. :)
    I am praying for the rest of your little ones! :)

    Hugs,
