The only "thing" inside my bator is the heating element thing.
I did not wash that part when I washed it...should I have?

Without looking at an identical model, I can't confirm or deny that the only thing inside the incubator is the heating element but I can pretty much guarantee that the temperature sensor is inside the incubator and if it also reads humidity, the hygrometer probe will also be inside the incubator. The sensors tend to develop a coating over time which inhibits their ability to transmit accurate temperatures and humidity.

The humidity element can also become coated so a careful wiping of it should be helpful.

I finally got some good news out of this crummy day. We are NPIP certified! Got our number finally.

Awesome!

I forgot about this motor thing.

One of the reasons I push virkon s is that while researching good disinfectants iirc it was the only one that was successful in ridding mereks from the housing area but it is passed via feather dander so it's not a cure all

I haven't read this yet but I need a place to bookmark it for later reading.

Only one of the four types of mareks is ocular, I would guess Cy’s bird does not have that. If anything I would say it’s the neural form.

Yes, I've said the same in an earlier post. I was just covering all of the areas that are visible to the eye, just to make sure that we didn't miss anything.

I found some people who have had success in treating Marek's and bringing the bird back.
They used Colloidal Silver liquid and St John's Wort liquid (alcohol free) at a dosage of 5-6 drops 4 hours apart from each other.

They attested that the birds slowly recovered and were eventually able to walk again and return to life as normal.
It wasn't a cure but it is something.
And I am willing to try.

Don't get me started on that, lol.
