This is where my Javas came from. They are BIG beautiful Javas. The roosers are a little more aggressive than I would like, but I guess they're guarding their hens.
Thank you! I don't care if the percentage isn't high - but if it's completely pointless, that's different.
I'll go on gathering then, and see what happens.
It's freezing here at night. I know the eggs can't freeze and we are checking for them several times a day, but how cold can fertile eggs get and still be viable?
I am using a digital reptile thermometer. It's got a probe that I put in through one of the vent holes and the readout is large enough that I can see it without my glasses.
I had a wonderful experience with them last year. I ordered 25 Buff Orpingtons, they sent 28. I also ordered 5 Bantams, and they sent 6, plus the one mystery chick.
The Orpingtons were an exact split: 14 roos and 14 hens. Whatever are the chances of that happening again...... *L*
But all...
I was feeding crumbles and going through a TON of food. Switched to pellets and they eat MUCH less.... plus, the pellets that they dump on the ground are big enough for them to find and eat. The crumbles just became one with the dirt.
I am VERY please with the order I recieved from McMurray. I ordered 25 Buff Orps and 5 Partridge Cochin Bantams, all straight run. My rare bird is a black Japanese bantam HEN. She is very cute.
I recieved them around the first of April and they should start laying soon.
We all just do the best we can.
If he ate something bad, there is no sense in vet bills. If it's parvo, on the other hand, vet bill can go as high or higher than $1600.
Water/fluids still are the most important thing. He can go several days without eating.
It depends..... when my pup got it, he started in feeling "not good" on Friday night, threw up water Sat morning (and this is when we went to the vet) and the diarhea mess didn't start until Sunday afternoon. I didn't have a clue that it was parvo until the vet ran the test.

Pepto has aspirin in it, which can be hard on stomachs. (I use lots of pepto, but you have to be careful with it.)

Pedialyte is better because the sugars will absorb through the mucous membranes in the mouth. Gatoraide will work if you don't have the pedialyte. Just fluids, lots of fluids....
