Thanks I did show internet search and its called Stargazing, which is what we are calling her. Its a vitamin B defienciecy and they recommended a little Brewers Yeast. Gave her a little over her food and she has already showed signs of improvement. Holds her head up better and is eating and drinking better too. Thou when shes tired she has a little issue but manages to lay down after a moment. My folks came by for weekend and they have a Newfoundland Female, she stayed laying by the chick the entire time. Would even stick her head in box if she chirped too long. Acted like a mother hen to the chick. So very cute.
Okay - Good! I thought when you said she has an "issue holding her head straight up" it meant it was drooping...not arched back looking at the sky. Glad to hear you are all set with the little chick. Sucks when they are ill!
I have the same luck with the shipped eggs....except for the ones that leave on saturday! Don't be too discouraged.
And to top it off, the air cells are detached and shaddle shape. Not sure how to set the on lock down. Do i lay themnon thwir side or put them in an egg carton?
That's up to you...saddle are very hard to hatch. I have done them both ways. Supposedly if you set them up in a carton it makes them easier to hatch...just cut the bottoms out so they can properly verntilate.
I just put a few chicken and duck eggs in the hatcher yesterday. Due to hatch tomorrow. This was last week's hatch minus the two bantams
