However, with the three last year...you've got to think something's wrong here. It seemed like everything settled down last year when I added in extra salt to their minerals. The boys have had the same extra salt block but weren't eating on it. Could that be part of it? I switched them to loose salt to see if they just didn't "get" or have a taste for licking the block. I've seen them all grab a mouthful...thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-20369377797498636742013-09-23T20:40:16.143-05:002013-09-23T20:40:16.143-05:00I am glad the boys are being accepted into the mai...I am glad the boys are being accepted into the main flock with no major problem.<br /><br />It is important to know the cause of Bitey Whitey's passing.
