I think I may have misunderstood... you didn't incubate them in the carton, not turning them, did you? I always hatch in a carton... I can fit more eggs in the hatcher that way.

But I've lost a few that pipped low, and the carton sucked up the moisture and they died. So this time I hatched the BCMs lying down.

Oh no, they went into that carton after I took them out of the turner. Ok, well I guess this isnt something new then!~

PaulaJoAnne, do you get your produce from Wolf Lake Wellness? I have been thinking about signing up, but didn't want to pay the fee and then not use it because the produce wasn't any good.

Please? I have a SERIOUS problem with Amy's chick!

Amy gave me this little guy in exchange for one of my Cinnamomn Queen chicks.
It's suposed to be older than the chicks I have.
It's eating the same stuff as my other chicks, but is not thriving.
It has not moved, and weighs about 1/4 of what the other chicks do. It's skin and bones (literally).
And it sits with it's bum in the air and doesn't seem to be able to walk (falls over).
I gave it sugar water, and raw egg-yolk to try to boost it up.
Still no change.

Any advice?

To clarify, She was perfect when Amy gave her to me. Active and well. I just noticed she's acting weird today.

 

[incubatingisfun]

have you put electrolites in the water?

 

[paulandashia]

Anyone?
Please?
Please tell me what do do!
I don't think it's going to make it thru the night....

I gave her sugar water and gatorade orally.


UPDATE: Her crop was completely empty. I filled it with fluids and yolk using a syringe.
I don't know what else to do for the little guy.
