For chicks I did 2 cc in a quart of water. I normally do 10cc per gallon when I treat my big pens with Corid. That doage was given to me from the vets at the University of Missouri
My feed is stored inside my house & I just fill up a bucket when I'm low. I have electrolytes I can add to their...
My Cochin bantam chicks are 2-3 weeks old. They've been doing great. Then I found my oldest chick spinning circles in my brooder. Couldn't upright herself so we put her down. Then 3 days ago I noticed 2 others starring up at the sky. Not moving as much & seem to lose balance. Then they flip over...
I've thought he was a roo but still never crows.
This next one I swear a hen, but face got really red. Now I think Roo but a friend said hens get red before they lay?
well I'm on my 3 hatch of my staggered hatch!!!
I had 10 of 14 first hatch
12 of 14 second hatch
8 of 16 out of my 3 hatch & I hear another one bouncing around in incubator :-)
These all hatched out with 2 weeks & I set another 2 doz due to
Hatch the 15th!!
im searching for eggs to hatch this winter. I'm looking for Welsummer Maran Aracauna Ameraucauna & Legbars. I don't want to ship eggs so I will Just drive & pick up.
I would even be willing to hatch out chicks in trade.
i went to our local Coop & they are out of save a chic & only had this electrolyte. It has every animal listed except birds.
If it's safe any clue what dosage is? Dogs & cats it said 1 Tbl spoon per gallon.
It passed away last night & it sucks. Everyone else is up hopping around. I couldn't get her to drink the electrolytes but at least it didn't suffer. Part of life is death & living on a farm it's expected.
Thanks I do have save a chic & will mix some up right now. Is it only good for 24hours?
Eggs are local so not sure what happened. It was one of the last eggs to hatch.
i have 1 chick that's not getting stronger like everyone else. It just lays there with no life. Is there anything I can try to give it to increase energy?
I ended up with 12 out of 15 but 1 isn't doing well. There was blood in the shell & it was stuck. After a couple hours I took a warm rag & wiped the dried blood off it. It's not fluffing up so hopefully it will now. I layer it on some warm eggs in the incubator & figured I will check on it...
2nd hatch is almost done!!! I have 10 in brooder, 2 more drying in incubator. I have 1 egg left. I did open 1 that had gone full turn but was vacuum sealed in egg :-(
I have 5 Cochin & 4 silky!!!! Plus 3 EE out of 15!!
I know bits good odds for a staggered hatch but I feel I could of saved the...
Thanks everyone!! Mr mouth did his job, I now have bantams out screaming!!! Ha ha
I was suppose to have Cochin & silky eggs. They are marked. According to the eggs I have 5 Cochins but 2 are all white so I'm confused? Eggs miss marked or white Cochins?
Good god are Cochin Babtams super loud or did I just get a special one? I have 3 big kids out & 1 Cochin but I couldn't sleep cuz it just keeps screaming. So I opened bator & put it back in for the night. Another Cochin was hatched & 2 silky eggs have pipped!!! I should have a party by morning!!!
