I completely forgot to post my results! I only had 10 out of 22 hatch but that's because my 1 hens eggs just kept dying while my others hens all hatched successfully. So I'm going to say it was an issue with Coco not so much the incubator. We even went through 2 different power outages as well...
Well here is Kaili today! We got over wry neck and can eat, drink and walk around all on her own. She still has a funny neck but she's living it up. Today was her and her bestie Bellas first day outside in their mini pen. It took over a month of hand feeding and watering and giving poultry cell...
She's started to improve a bit after starting poly vi sol. I feed and water her every couple of hours and massage her little neck muscles. She's started to hold it straighter with some help and can hold it upright for a few seconds now. One step at a time I'm really hoping she pulls through...
I just came across this and know its an old post but what ever happened with your chick? I have one doing the exact same thing and I've been fighting along with her to get her past this but she's just getting worse it seems. Started as a curve and now she twists it all the way 360.....
Thank you! I really needed to see and hear about Babsey as I was getting really torn about if I'm doing the right thing. She's doing good, the 5 just went home so it's just her now so I'm hoping that'll make it easier for her. Im still giving vitamin e, egg yolk, nurtidrench and massaging her...
My little chick is still fighting. I've been giving vitamin e with selenium as well as nutri-drench in her water. I've still seen no improvement with her neck but she is eating and drinking and gains about 2 grams a day. Still half the size of her hatch mates but will stand her ground for food...
YAY! Im so happy I found this! I just ordered mine yesterday to be here Tuesday! Im so excited now to use it and will be putting in 22 silkies. I just did a hatch with 12 lost 3 in early development, lost 3 again at hatch and have 6 chicks 1 with a crooked neck from bad placement in its egg. I'm...
Im looking to get my own incubator as right now im using a friends. Im so overwhelmed by reviews and horror stories that I have no idea what to go with. Here is my checklist of what I want it to have...
Hold at least 20 eggs
Automatic Turner
Reliable temp and humidity
Preferably nothing over...
I gave it vitamin e yesterday and so far no change. I felt its neck and it feels like the bones grew that way. Im still going to treat for wry neck but I'm thinking I may have a crooked neck chick. Have you ever had one or heard of any making it if that's the case? It gets around great eats...
