We've been going to get another UPS (universal power supply) as I have one on my computer, but tired of moving it to the other room when I'm running incubators. I showed hubby this Jackery, and we both like this better. Thanks for the tip!
I presume you're doing 5 days of it? I'd just give it a bit more time. The VetRX, if you haven't, you can put a few drops under her wings and just wipe a dot by her nostrils. It won't cure anything but might help her breath easier.
Okay, I'll confess. We have a container in the fridge with bacon grease in it. I thought I'd make hot bacon dressing. The spinach should be up in oh, about 6-7 months. It should still be good then, eh? :gig
Hi,
How old is your chicken? How long was she on the Tylosin? When was the last day of it? Sometimes it keeps working days after the antibiotic is done.
Any other symptoms besides wheezing?
Hi,
They sort of train their prolapse to stay in. It might be swelling up for some reason. You said you're transitioning back to layer feed. What were they on before?
I'd try probiotics as there might be something awry in her digestive tract.
Hi!
Yours looks like it circulates air underneath. Mine doesn't, it's a solid bottom. I use rubber shelf liner anyway. In your case, I think I would too.
Congrats on the new incubator! Wishing you great hatches!
Hi, and welcome to BYC!
Pretty girl!
That could be stridor, which is when a chicken gets something stuck in their throat or windpipe. If that's what it is, she should be able to clear it within a few hours. Just make sure she's drinking.
If that's not it, it could be the symptom of a...
Many folks don't have a turner and they have successful hatches. Many folks candle every single day, and they have successful hatches too. I wouldn't advise turning them by hand the first couple of days then as the embroyos in that stage are setting up. Conditions need to be stable, which...
You're very welcome and hope she feels better soon! Since she's preening herself, and eating/drinking, those are good signs!
We use a fingernail dremmel for our crossbeak. I noticed yours has a bit long of a top beak and just taking a little off might help.
You need to get a hygrometer so you will know. Most of us purchase both all in one, hygrometer/thermometers. Many of us have Govee brand from Amazon, but there are several other brands that do a good job as well. Just make sure it's got good reviews hopefully from other folks with incubators. :)
