Go get some Terramycin eye ointment from the feed store pronto! Gently hold a warm wet cloth to their eyes and open them as they become unstuck and treat them. I am NOT recommending this treatment, however it may help to know that any antibiotic drops for human use, such as ciprofloxacin...

I'd be interested in a true demographic of the folks here. I'm 44 and assume most folks are younger than me. When I stop to think about it I change my mind. It's hard to say- this is a diverse community. Drumstick Diva, I'd be delighted with the news of cataracts!! I'm legally blind but able...

Dar, got your message, and yours SCG, and yours, c-a-m, etc...sooooooo sorry not to have answered you all earlier. I was busy, but I'm better now. I'll catch up with all of the PMs from everyone when I get back from the farm- need to check on how they've all survived out there. Missed you all!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! Decided I'd better log in and announce the winners before I catch up on the thread- worked 78 hours in 7 days and I'm pooped!!! Okay, the Flapper Contest was close, but it was BrettMo's Paratrooper who won the greatest number of votes- Congrats! PM me your...

Apparently I'd forgotten a celeb, so if you voted, go vote again...

I'm not sure, but I would certainly check to be certain that the vent is clear and not stuck closed, as this can happen rarely w/o external evidence. Aside from that, I can't think of any possibilities.

Sorry I've been MIA- I'll catch up tomorrow night, but for now, wanted to post these. Please vote and bandy the polls around so everyone on BYC has their say, too! Celeb Look-Alike Poll Flapper Poll

My final count is 25. I started with sooooo many. I had put several under broodies a bit later, out of the incubators, and that helped. Only 15 came out of the incubators. Oy. Just OY!! I'm worried about a couple of these skinny, weak things. Low temps and old eggs. So very bad!! In...

Well...multi-quote didn't work right on that last post...and I didn't notice when I hit send... See above. Put the Serama in with everyone else if it's on its feet. I have raised mine in mixed flocks with Jersey Giants and all kinds of madness, and they held their own fine when everyone...

2 buffs, 2 barred, and a couple that looked blue!? And a Black.

You are exactly right, and to prove it, the majority of the eggs that hatched were yours! I got 7 out of your eggs, and 2 of them are very weak but trying...the low temps just kicked everyone's bum. I had no idea it was dropping so low at night. I'm very determined to get that fixed, pronto...

Unbelievable!! I'd heard that the pellet guns sold these days can be pressurized to the point of fatal projectiles, but I'm soooo grateful this wasn't that extreme!!! X2. Totally pulling for you. I think perhaps many of us are really suffering because of the inconsistent temps and humidity...

I think I'd candle and see what's happening. Look an inch or two to the left or right of shadows, as our peripheral vision is more sensitive to tiny movements. You can sometimes see shadows moving this way when you can't if you're looking dead-on. Put the eggs to your cheek. If you confirm...

Well, I'm lucky enough to have invoked nearly every one of those items in the first list. I'm having a terrible hatch, and being very humbled by this experience. I've tried, this time, to hatch a bunch of older eggs, and it didn't go well at all because we had temps from 88*-30* during...

Hooray!!!!

Looks like the multi button is back! Not everyone has chicks!! You're going to be fine! Can't wait to see what you get! I hate it when they don't make it out of the shell. It's very sad!

Oh, the dark side has you firmly in its grasp. I snagged a display shelf from behind a retail store because I couldn't resist the shelf hardware...roost attachers!! What happend to the 'multi' button?? I just used it a minute ago!!

I'm grumpy, too, but I finally have a chick on half-shell and a few other pips. It's the thumbs-up symbol on the bottom of each post, silly! This is the time to don a camisole with a 'shelf' in it. Perfect way to keep a singlet happy and still be able to move around and get stuff done...

...Porcelain is a totally different thing...a Mille Fleur pattern diluted to butter, lavender and white via the Lavender gene... ...and because the confusion caused by 'Blue' and 'Self-Blue' is just unnecessary. But that's just my opinion...
