Turns out my broody does not have an eye infection after all; she has a severe infestation of mites! The vet picked her up and shook her & a whole bunch of mites fell out, so disgusting! I guess they are more susceptible to mites if they are broody cause they are just sitting there all day.

So I am going to use the poultry dust on the rest of the flock and on the other broody. My eggs are due to hatch on the 16th, so hopefully by then the mites will be gone.

thats good news! although mites are terrible to get rid of I have read, I never want them so we have always used ivermectin as preventative.
 
Ummm..this is more gross than the feet. Yep!

Is that bacon wrapped around the head? If so, maybe not as gross.

Oh, was going to ask, treats too..as in easy goody treats allowed for the contest? Or just recipes? Thinking that the pretzel spider web doesn't really take a recipe..
 
I felt like my tiny DASP incubator wasn't cooperating with me or I was doing too much during the first 8 serama eggs I set so for the second 10 I set I borrowed a used foam incubator that ended up very screwy. Maybe I just didn't know how to do a foamy. They went back in my tiny DASP instead out of frustration.:rolleyes: I went with the dry hatching, it worked better for me as my humidity didn't dip below 40% without water & I had more fetal development further along. I also only candled the 10th day & right before lock down, other than initially when I received them in the mail. I took the 19th & 20th day off from work to be home & silly egg hatched after I got home midnight on day 22 I had saddle air cells in a few & actually the one that hatched was the worst of the saddle eggs, but he's beautiful...after he got fluffy:lol:
Awww congratulations!!!!
