Yeah I keep Brewers and nutritional yeast on hand along with some other odds and ends...
Bleed stop, baytril, ACV, tea tree oil...

Excellent information...what is ACV?

Apple cider vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar with Mothers

 

[hennible]

Yes... An unfiltered brand like "brags"

Raw? Not the right word.... Unpasteurized

So the recommendation is Poly Vi Sol over a liquid B vitamin?

Heading out to Wal-Mart soon.... Ugh. Hate going there on the weekends... The human circus.

Make sure it doesn't have Iron!

I would use both for wry neck. A drop of each twice a day. Also, plain yogurt and scrambled eggs is good for them.

Yes, no iron.

Look in both the baby section and the vitamin section.

so update before I try and catch up: I had 1 more Red orp hatch on day 23

bringing the total to 17 out of 23. 8/8 on the bantams (7 of mine and one other) 3/4 on Mottled Orps (1 early quit) and 3/6 on the Red Orps (1 didn't develop, 1 got cracked and 1 didn't hatch). If I did my math correctly it would be a 74% (73.9) hatch rate

Unfortunately one of the bantams isn't doing well and I may have to cull it; hatched fine but it's not standing and when I try and give it water (a drop at a time from a medicine syringe) it will gulp and then gasp for a while. I put it back in the incubator so that it doesn't get trampled by the rest of the hatch. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
