We have got a cocci problem, Went to get corid yesterday but the feed store was CLOSED.
Today my birds have to wait until somone gets home from work. That would be around 5:00.
but, my dad is having me call to ask if they actually have it. I've never used corid before, and I
need to know...
So heres the story ~
About a week ago we had a few chicks pop up acting lethargic. We seperated them immediatly, not
knowing what the problem was. First one died that night, two were noticed & seperated before they
became very sick And they are doing fairly well. Today we came up with...

Anyways, all BYC rules apply, be friendly, and post any funny quotes or sayings you can think of.

If I followed you home, would you keep me?
Come to the dark side ...
We have cookies...
10 Healthy chicks hatched on the 21-22 of may this year.
Everybody was healthy and happy, Then somone let the dog into
my room and he killed a chick who I was treating for leg problems.
Now, 1 day later we notice one of the healthiest chicks being
very weak and lethargic. He very rarely...
I have a chick that was stuck in his egg because mom had stopped setting.
Well I did an eggtopsy thinking they were dead since they didn't hatch with the others
and I found shrink wrapped chicks who pipped through the membrane, gasping for air.
I immediatly shoved them all in my incubator...
Heres the original thread.

My question is, if a chick has been in a bacteria filled 'bator, is there any chance he has
some sort of disease/illness that could be given to my other chicks? I'm so terrified he'll
give somthing to...
Well, all my eggs have hatched. (One batch, anyways)
All but one little egg, who has been trying to hatch for about 48 hours.
My incubator is absolutely DISGUSTING (Thanks to my 10 trouble makers who hatched 2 days ago)
It smells, and needs cleaned. The egg's membrane is a nasty green color...
LATEST EDiT ~
One chick died in the shell, and he was the most active and talkative one I had, so I
decided in the situation, their best chance of survival would be if I helped the out of
the egg. I used sterile tools, and boiled water cooled down to room temp. to pick the
shell away, and...
Alright I'm in a bad situation. I added a bunch of eggs to my incubator, wrote
Everything down on paper, the time and date I put them in, etc. And now, the
paper magicaly disapeared and I have no idea what day it is for my eggs.
I candled today and they are atleast half way through. The egg...
Well I have a few cousins who love animals - then those who hate them
My little cousin helped me bathe my poop covered broody the other day. Then some who would call me disgusting for doing such a thing. I love my cousins TO DEATH. Really. I do. We all get along
amazingly, I just wish they...
Well, my giant egg I had in the incubator came up with a blood ring, and died yesterday. Today
I broke it open and found two yolks, one chick, and alot of mess. Since there was two yolks in the
egg, is it somhow a good thing this chick died? What would've happened at hatch with an
extra yolk...
Well, I've had a case of poison ivy on my hands for the past few days now...
i'm pretty darn positive that's what it is. Nothin' else it could be, really.
How in the WORLD did I get it?
My border collie ofcoarse!
She was running along the edges of the woods, where we just happen to have a...

Alright my hen laid this HUGE egg, thinking it was a double yolker I grabbed it.
Now I know it's not recommded to incubate them, being they usually do not live,
but I had to try it. I candled today just to see if there was any reddish tint to the
egg, and I see veins. I only see one yolk...
I have a broody hen right now on 6 eggs, and she is being stubborn. She will not
come off of her nest, she will not eat, and she will not drink. I kick her off once daily and
she just sets there in the corner with-out eating, or goes straight back to her nest. She will not
eat ON her nest, as...
Well, I had a suprise this morning. I have a little game hen, who started laying a
couple months ago ~Can't remember exactly when~ She's been laying tiny eggs,
which I know is normal for the first few eggs.. Well then she starts laying eggs with
weird bumps and knots in them. Not little...
We are having some rough weather today. Power outage at 6 this morning, and Just now came
back on! And we're having more, and worse storms later. Well, I had an incubator with ten
eggs in it, and luckily, I had a broody hen to stick them under. My question is...How do you
keep eggs warm...
Well last night, along with many other nights lately,
my border collie was asleep in her crate as usual, it was
around 1:00 AM, and everyone in the house was dead asleep,
and I was TRYING to go to sleep. Well Bridgit wakes up and
starts growling like crazy. Like a "I'm going to bite you"...
