Go broody, go broody! Mine never managed an EP so I made an "emergency air hole". That was last night. Today pulled back a little more to see what's up with the yolk sac. It has a little bit left to absorb so now its a waiting game!
Wow! I haven't been to BYC in a loooonnnggg time. Glad to see not much has changed. Guess what?! I need help!
My first egg of the year was due yesterday. I'm afraid I will have a repeat of last year. Here is the scenario... any help is appreciated. I'm going to weigh the ones going in now...
Hey! I'm in Lee's Summit too!! In fact, Animal Control made me move my chickens out right before the whole whirlwind started. What a bunch of crap that was. ANYHOO, Glad to see LS is finally listening to the peeps. (pun intended).
And Amen to the "ruining of Longview" comment.
Thanks Chooks. I soaked her and kind of scraped the black stuff off. I can't find a cut or abrasion anywhere. The other foot is smooth and clean. Nothing like this. I've never had this before! lol.
Also- I put blu kote and salve on it, wrapped it good.. So we'll see what it looks like tmw.
Well...really.. it will either come out of it or not. If you wanted to supplement with some sav-a-chic, or my personal favorite Milk. Heck, even sugar water. Might give it a boost. I recently had one hatch with the yolk sac not absorbed and it didn't make it. Acted a lot like yours just...
Gave her a bath in Epsom salts. And took a pic of her foot. Is this bumblefoot?
I know it doesn't look typical of bumblefoot, but thought I'd ask anyway.
