So, i have a question i hope ya'll can help me with.
I have 75 eggs in my crock waterglassing since June 15, 2021
I have dates on each egg in pencil.
I smell the container each time I add eggs.
9/8 smell is ok.....9/9 is when I smelled the yuck. I remember one of the eggs slipped and fell...
Is that picture showing the MHP suspended and the chicks under it for warmth?
I want to use this method
Tell me the best setup.
Do they stand on it, or only rest under it?
I'm, hopefully, going to have five chicks.
What's the best smallest item I can use to keep them in while growing.
Heat lamp.
Watts.
Feed
Water
Bedding.
It will stay in house in spare room.
Can the heat lamp stay off when I go to work for 3.5 hours and then turn it back on when I return?
This...
I have a rooster...just under a year old.
He lost his hen to a predator two weeks ago to what we think was a fox. A Pluff of feathers was all that's left.
Can a rooster become depressed?
He look like he's lost weight.
I don't want him in with other hens .
I want to take another hen and put her...
Hello. As an update...the chicken, Polly, is doing better. On Thanksgiving day she started to walk on her own...weakly and one leg in front of other.
Not sure what the turning point was...besides asking God to remove the evil from her body the night before.
:)
If is was a possible vitamin...
I have a simple question...don't laugh at me! Lol.
Are eggs laid soft shell ( for ease of passing)... and then they become hard shell?
I caught an egg still wet under her, but had hardened shell.
I did not take her in. I'm not paying $100 for a vet bill....besides she wasn't allowed in bc it could be Mareks....I understand.
Also said that in Nashville there is a lab that would perform a necrospy to determine.
They said amoxicillin won't work.
They said no cure.
I'm pumping her full of...
So far, so good.
She is still alive.
I may be giving her more than required....those pills expired 2015.
Anyway, we are learning at this rate...so, whatever happens, we hope for the best.
I mix it with water, cukes, various seeds, oats, and spaghetti pieces.
3ml syringe down throat....maybe 5...
I have a 875 mg amoxicillin.
If I were to use 250mg and make it two servings....I would have to divide it into "slices" of 200 a piece? It would be a bit strategic. Lol.
Otherwise, could I shave it down to be an appropriate amount.
Not getting better.
Just force feeding now to keep alive...
