    Elector Psp alternative?

    And what about the 99% "Other ingredients" noted in Captain jacks....do you really want that on your birds? There's someone on Ebay selling Elector PSP in smaller amounts.

    Newly hatched chick brain deformity??

    I have a crested cream legbar chick that hatched a couple days ago. She hatched with a lump on her head and her head/neck moves back and forth constantly (think typewriter). When she tries to walk she turns in a circle. When she closes her eyes, the head movement stops. When offered food she...

    As I said, everyone has varying degrees of success. I think there are A LOT of influences...how the eggs are stored, temp, incubation technique, genetics/parent chicken health, shipped vs non shipped....etc etc etc. I personally try not to set anything older than a week old for the best...

    In response to Chikenscratch The "experts" say viability decreases rapidly 7 days after being laid. I have heard of people incubating eggs up to 2 weeks old with varying results. (not more than 40%)

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I hatched some ducks many moons ago...when I was in high school. I had a bunch of thick foam kicking around, so I decided to build my own incubator. It came out pretty well and has worked great in my test runs. I started some eggs today. I got some eggs from...

    Straining/constipated 3 week old chick????

    She acts fine otherwise and has had a normal growth rate. I dont think she has anything blocking her vent...her BM's are very large,and are fairly dry compared to the others...it just seems she cant push them out all the way. (Reminds me of mega colon in a cat...I'm a vet tech) She strains and...

    Straining/constipated 3 week old chick????

    I have a 3 week old chick that is having difficulty defecting. She strains, gets some poo out but doesn't seem to be able to finish. She continues to strain, walks around a bit and will poke at her tail/vent area with her beak, trying to get the fecal material out. Her vent is showing signs of...

    3 day old chick sick... please advise

    Hmmm, I wonder if it's just stress related or if there's another medical reason. Just thinking if you could narrow it down you could be proactive/know what to watch for with the others. Are they eating and drinking enough? Are their poo's normal? What kind of bedding do you have in your...

    3 day old chick sick... please advise

    Do you have a small thermometer that you are able to keep at floor level of the brooder under the lamp? (to be able to monitor) If you add the other lamp, be sure to monitor temps under and away from the heat closely for several hours to be sure it's not too hot. Sometimes even away from the...

    3 day old chick sick... please advise

    What is your garage temp? The room temp should be around 70....if the garage is colder than that Im guessing the lamp isn't able to maintain the temp. If you have a large brooder I'd try adding another heat lamp to see if you can maintain the 95 degree temp on one side. (Be sure it's big...

    3 day old chick sick... please advise

    Thank you. I was hoping she'd pull thru but knew in my gut she wouldn't. Sad to lose her but her sisters are all doing great so hopefully its not contiguous.
