Sounds encouraging Sydney! :pop

Love the glitter nail polish! :gig

Have you managed to hatch from any eggs that were cracked when set? I’ve hatched a few that were cracked by a broody late in development, but I haven’t even tried to set any undeveloped cracked eggs…

Cool thread! OMG - the amount of wax on “Crackles”!!! :th

I think Tubby definitely sounded like it had an infection in the abdomen, as from omphalitis. I’m sorry you had to deal with such a dismaying condition if it’s body after it passed. Bacteria will multiply quickly in a warm environment like a brooder, so once Tubby passed away, those bacteria...

Ok, I had a quick chat with @CluckNDoodle about your hatch and am attempting to tag her here. CluckNDoodle, it would be great if you have time to read through this thread. My main questions are: 1) When you have sticky chicks, is it usually due to high humidity? Or could it be an effect of eggs...

Hmmm, what was the bit about Neosporin? I think I missed that… How about running this next incubation like your most recent, previously successful ones? I had a terrible time myself this past summer, but maybe something like 40% humidity during incubation and then >60% at lockdown? You could...

Oh Sydney, I’m so sorry. I’ve been thinking about you all day and wondering how it was going. So very sad that these babies have done so poorly! It’s very hard to tell what killed these keets without a necropsy. Is a necropsy from your state diagnostic lab possible? As far as your recent...

Re navel - they look good after the soak. The 1st time I saw that gunk in photos, I was afraid that's where it came from, but other times it was obviously from vent so I guess they laid in it. . COLI (COLICBACILLOSIS) Symptoms: fever and lethargy, trouble breathing, diarrhea and coughing -I...

Oh no, you don’t need anymore problems! Coccidiosis in chicks can cause different signs depending on the coccidial species, because different species affect different segments of the GIT. So, you might not see bloody droppings. However, I think that it takes a few weeks to really develop in...
