Good for you! I know that must have been a huge responsibility that you just don't need right now. How many chicks do you have hatching?

They look pretty cute to me! Don't silkies just have the prettiest eyes?

TELL ME ABOUT IT!! I was checking out the incubators online. The Brinseas. I am hooked! I had chickens many years ago but never had this much fun. I never knew this fun chicken community existed. I bought the Mad City Chickens CD. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Anyone have ideas for my poor EE hen? I posted this in the injuries, etc forum.....but would love your input too.....

I'm hoping this is temporary paralysis....considering how she was when I found her I am amazed at how alert she is right now. I didn't think she was going to make it 20 minutes and it's been 3 hours or so since she's been out from where she was trapped.

Another down size...

1 still air Hovabator
(I used them as hatchers)
1 still air Little Giant

1 Forced Air TX6 (no turner) and I lined the floor with 1/4 x 1/4 hardware cloth so I didn't have to worry about anyone falling in the water pan below (much better than the manufacturers idea)

10 Phoenix hens and 2 Roos. Laying. A year old.

A hand full of pet quality white Silkies. About 12 weeks old. Maybe they were from my new years day hatch. I can't remember.

I may randomly get rid of a few other chickens too. I just need to figure it out.

Maybe ill be getting rid of brooder buckets too. I have to wait til the quy who got the quail to pick them up to see what I don't need.

Paco might need a new home too. (He's a house bird)

Also, a cat that lives outside had kittens in my drive way. I locked her in the back bathroom. I'm not sure how long til I can give them to new families. But when they are old enough they need a home. I'm not sure if they are boys or girls.

Not an oxygen issue. When I gas quail I add CO2 to the box and oxygen leaves the box. A quail can be on the verge of death and get one wif of fresh air and its fine two seconds later. Are you sure it was a yolk and not nasty poo? When my hen was egg bound she squated a lot. Either way, if it was a egg shell issue I wouldn't give her scratch until its resolved.

I hope its just her being stressed from her ordeal.

And check for mites/lice. Those things cause more issues than I think they get credit for.

I'm having some health issues and it's been a bit of a mystery. I'm going for more testing to see if they can figure it out. Hopefully they will get it figured out so I can get on a path to feeling better.

Downsizing will make it easier to manage with all this fatigue.
