You didn't say how quickly the birds died after hatching. If it were less than 2 days I would suspect that they were just weak. On or after the 3rd day I would think they'd run out of yolk energy and hadn't eaten.
It's sad and frustrating, I know. I once had Bob Whites die on the 3rd day...
I'm guessing from the photos that those are Coturnix quail? Not all quail are created equal. North American quail take 28 days to hatch whereas Coturnix (Japanese quail) take as little as 15 days to hatch?
Correct me if I am wrong.
I read this and had to sit on it a while to digest what you're trying to tell me.
It's possible that you're showing off with all of the specific equipment you mention.
I'm not that Fancy. I still have to hand turn eggs in an old round galvanized metal incubator. I tried a new plastic one and it...
Now, I'm wondering if i over reacted? It just really sux when you lose a bird. It's like a Challenge to et it Right and you feel like you're failing and lives are literally at stake!
I took your advice and moved all of the bigger chicks out of that box leaving them with the 2 ....Nekked necks...
Are they born with cocci, because I've never had that in birds...Yest. But, I saw one squirt. It's not a good sign. I have amprolium, but have seldome used it. It turns out that cocci is species specific and the kittens I was fostering hadn't improved and I tried that because I was so sick of...
Thanks for the reply. They do seem to be aggressive to other chicks and peck only at them or the walls or legs of the brooder heater! I've seen them pick up bits of crumble only to shake it off like it's Nasty!
Otherwise all they do is sleep.
I figure I've got less than 2 days to get them...
This is my 2nd try with TSC turkey poults and I'm having the same problem. They won't eat. They peck and drop the game starter crumbles, so I ran some thru the blender and it's the same behavior. It's like they don't know how to swallow? I'm not sure who TSCs supplier is or I would reach out to...
Most enjoyable day today. Almost all of the puppies sat on command. There's a PACK od puppies, so I WIN! :cool:
I still have yet to create an AD for them. i really should. I just signed on for a subscription delivery of puppy chow to the tune of $200/month. for now.
They're already showing to be...
Wow! I've been relistening to my old favorites.... Hunh. I didn't think the ... weak woman was that strong in me. I guess it was when I was a teenager. Bless My heart! <3
Don't get me wrong.... I still love those sad voices. I just am not weepy about any man anymore! :lau
This is for my...
pretty sure the conversation digressed that it wasn't even talking about my Floozy bitch or her under aged Amour.....
Just sayin....
But, those that ARE following the thread might get a laugh outta' this.
My brother that lives next door has been complaining that every time he visits the puppies...
Well, It's interesting that Breeders from Denmark have been mentioned in my Teenagers' unplanned Pregnancy.
Meanwhile..... Down here in Texas..... how do you tell if a Girls in heat with no signs
Take her temp vaginally daily? Ain't gonna happen. She's shy or as in the Olden Days we called it...
My LGD's are still on LB puppy food. My vet says that this little foray into the real world won't hold her back.
She never was going to be a large dog. I'm alright with that. I could've walked away.
What I saw was a timid dog. Unsure of herself and her place.She's learned her worth.... her...
I just want to reiterate that this was NOT a planned breeding. And, that this dogs 'Heat cycle' is not typical. I have to wonder if it's LGD breed specific? Not likely, but totally understandable... wouldn't want wolves to breed with the Guardians.
Anyhoo.... I smelt a smell today. Put the...
