Think of the shell membrane as a human placenta. :) It is like a buffer between them and the external shell (or human skin). Once it's ready to hatch and pips the chick absorbs all the blood that's in those veins and the yolk nutrients are fully absorbed and it makes its way into this world :)
I too am going through the same thing. Momma accidentally crushed the egg and I successfully hatched. But she had poked a tiny bloody hole and after hatching I noticed this the next day. I'm on day 2 with baby. Has energy. But I am at a loss on how to seal it and feel bad it's all alone in the...
I know this thread is old. But I was looking for the same info and came across the article I'll link below. I could not break my chickens neck, nor let anyone else do something I'm not ok with myself. I am planning to use a high dose (well high for a chicken) of left over specific prescription...
Next time if the antibiotics don't work, ask for Sulfatrim from your vet. It's a broad-based antibiotic. Not every disease is going to respond, as you know, to the same antibiotic. Some need different ones.
I know this is old but I'm going to post because I feel bad for all the people that think that RX is going to cure whatever their chickens have. Also there are essential oils in it and too much essential oils can do the opposite to any person or animal so I would be leery on a baby chick...
Shes still the same. Well more energy at the moment. I bought Tylan just not sure if I should give it orally or injected. I called over 15 vets today. No one does chickens. Smh.
I just got my baby chicks 2 days ago. One of my baby chicks appear to have a bum leg. Then it was two bum legs. Not spraddle a leg. And not a slip tendon (I don't think). The legs are getting better.
My problem is in the mornings when this little one wakes up her eyes stay shut. Well, the 1st...
I'm building a 6' x 2.5' brooder. We initially set to get 12 chicks, and with my perfect chicken math we will have 21 coming at the end of the month. Will that be big enough for the next 8-10 wks if most are bantam?
Thank you, but that doesn't say the actual ingredients. Unfortunately, I can't just go to the store just to read the info. I got covid really bad and am now disabled because of it. Every time I go out I risk more issues now. We are trying to get prepared to raise our own food and such now that I...
Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't just go to the store just to read the info. I got covid really bad and am now disabled because of it. I don't understand why they would be the only ones not to list them on their site.
Thank you, but that doesn't say the actual ingredients. It's literally the only company I looked at that didn't list the real ingredients. Unfortunately, I can't just go to the store just to read the info. I got covid really bad and am now disabled because of it. Every time I go out I risk more...
