Took this picture this morning.. these chicks are all the same age, on the same food, from the same place.
Note the size difference?
:$
We actually took the largest 50 out and have slowly caught 35 more of the bigger mediums and put them in with the large birds in a different pen on grass.. hoping that this will give the smaller birds a better chance. Which means we have 50 birds that are the size they should be.. out of 300.
We took 35 of the mediums out which is roughly half of the mediums..
*Blasted hard to catch when you've been in there catching a few times*
So lets say mediums are roughly 80 birds?
Which leaves us with 50+80=130.
Which leaves us with 170 little birds... Little tiny birds that are weak and die easily.
We are down to a total of 255.
We've never had birds like this before. EVER!
The hatcheries email box is full,
I wonder if they are getting a LOT of negative feedback this year?,
so my message is not been able to go through..
But they will be hearing from us. SOON!!
