I think that my chick are still hatching....I ended up with a bunch of not fertile eggs though so I'm probably not in the running for the best hatch rate this go....Good Luck to everyone else!
I have a hatchling today while I was at work....I believe it is a Sliver laced Wyandotte. I have a picture on my phone but I can't seem to get it to load. Wonder what tomorrow will bring....
I have been so busy at work that I have pretty much left these eggs alone. I heard some others peeping...
I set 20 eggs sliver laced wyandottoes, buckeyes, Spanish and some hybrids. Hope my incubator holds temp alright! Maybe I will get a good hatch rate since they are all 3 days old at the most.
Does anyone have a good cheat sheet? This is my 1st incubator hatching...
I just had a Broody set and she didn't do very well I had to take 4 chicks from her at the pip because she had killed 3 of them, one didn't get out seemed to dry. I did get 4 cute chicks...
I did a test run on my...
I just had the same thing happen so I won't let her set a clutch again. I was able to save 4 of chickens but wasn't quick enough to save the other 3. It appears she is just a bad mother because the chicks in the brooder are doing great.
I got it at the farm store but I think TSC has it also. I got the liquid Corid solution...I work great and I treated for 10 days and followed with vitamins and electrolytes and plain yogurt but you can't give them the vitamins during the treatment...
Out of the flock I have lost a total of 3 birds.. a.Spanish hen, Dominique hen, and a Gold lace Roo. I have one Spanish hen and a Favorelle hen that are very questionable to me for survival due to their actions....I was wondering how long should I expect to lose birds. Today is the last day for...
What vitamin solution or other supplement would anyone recommend to give after treatment with corid as tomorrow is the last day! For the most part the chicks seem better their are eating and drinking better. What else could I do to booster their system back up their comb color is returning but...
He died yesterday....such a pretty roo....I hated to lose it but I'm treating them all for coccidiosis. I guess he just wasn't strong enough......Any tip about treating this nasty protozoan would be greatly appreciate...I lost 2 so far and the others seem better.
Thanks for the post...The pictures are most helpful as .I am dealing with this right now. Lost a Spanish hen and my gold laced roo.....I felt terrible about it. One day they were fine and the next sick and the next dead.... I am still worried about my chicks but they are some better today...
I have a rooster about 10 weeks old that is having vague symptoms. He lost a lot of weight and is very weak and lethargic at times....Other times he is clamoring for food with the others.. This morning he was very weakened but last night he ate and drank a lot. I pulled him from the others and...
I have a Chocolate Turkey that's 3 weeks old...It isn't growing like the others from the same hatch and is now lame (limping) in one leg. Does anyone have any thoughts about what it might be? I'm new to chickens and turkeys so I don't have a clue. Thanks
