you are the best!!!!!

When Mikey picks up the oxine tomorrow, I will give him some denagard, too.

I candled the eggs under my broodys and I'm not sure we're going to have chicks! I didn't see any veins in any of the eggs. There was a large dark spot in one, but I didn't notice anything in the others. I've looked up pictures and I should be seeing veins, but nada. I've never candled before, so maybe I'm just missing it? One broody has been sitting since the 8th but had eaten two eggs...so when it was all said and done, she's been on the same three eggs since the 13th. The other broody has been sitting since the 16th. Any suggestions? :/

I'm sorry you're having such a bad time, MIKEY. I wish there was something I could do.

Give at least a full week of development before candling. It's really easy to miss during the early days.

Kevs, Mahonri & whomever is interested??

I am down with getting on on an Oxine and a Denegard order....I'd like to have more stuff on hand for emergencies, plus I'm thinking the Oxine might be something to try on my serama Houdini (aka sneezy)


So I am here in the N. valley......I can meet you on a street corner, and hand over some cash for some chicken meds......wait, that sounds a little suspicious doesn't it!?

Well, I think my hatch is complete, but i'll let the remainder go a bit longer since some started pretty late.

I ended up with
9 EE
5 FBCM
6 Wellie

2 died while unzipping during my slumber(shoot). I started with 36 eggs and considering that I forgot to candle before lockdown, this is all a surprise. I got an email from a friend late last night and she wants 16 chicks! Holy smokes! The fireman is very happy.

Mikey, when your situation is under control, I will hatch you a new batch of wellies.

Oh, thank you! I was (surprisingly) discouraged. I didn't realize how much I wanted these eggies to hatch. I think I am more excited than the kids! I was even considering buying fertile eggs somewhere and replacing the non-fertile ones. Shhhhh! Don't tell DH!

I'll give it another few days.

Yay! Baby chickies!

Sorry about the 2 that died. I would be all teary, I think, seeing two unzip and die. Is that your ad on craigslist?

 

[Arizonachicken]

Oh, I'll go in on a medication order. I don't want to wait until I have a problem to get some. Who's organizing it?
