I don't see how it would hurt. I'd give it vitamins.

Done

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I really like Nutridrench too and my mom is bringing me some this afternoon.

I was confused when you typed that you put it on the chicks "beak and feet" but then figured out you meant "feed"...didn't you?


Thanks! It is quite healthy otherwise. With the new hobbles it is ripping around the temporary brooder I have set up in my classroom.

I am amazed that it is as large as it is. Seems like its egg was barely bigger than its head and yet here it is. Wild how they can fit in those things. Is there any sort of syndrome that goes along with "too small eggs?"

Yes, the hatching process must have been hard on that one.

My chick is strong and it is a crack up! I put it in a small tupperware cup for PT. It flopped out and flipped the cup over. So I switched it to a coffee mug that is twice as tall as this baby for its second session. I just watched it scale the inside of the cup and flop itself out. I have the hobbles on but you can see they are too loose. I will need a second pair of hands I think to make sure the next pair is tight enough. But I feel like I have traumatized it enough for the morning so am giving it a break. But it can get its body upright, its feet are moving forward and it is walking instead of flopping so that is progress. It is also loud.

After driving all over town on a quest to find Poly Vi Sol w/o iron I gave it a couple of drops when I got home at 4:45 is and then a couple more around 9:00

I gave it a couple this morning but can't seem to find how often I should be dosing it.

It just found its reflection in the finish on the mug and is studying and pecking at it. I need to get it a buddy. Anyone have bantam (silkie?) chicks in Lake, Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa or Marin counties?

What a cutie! And a fighter! I sure hope you are able to fix his spradle.

I have had to do this once or twice on finches. Now that is difficult! Sometimes it works and sometimes not. I'm sure hoping it does for this little one...

If it is not drinking I put it on the beak ( hope some goes in the mouth) and feet. I may be misremembering but I have it in my mind it can absorb nutriets via the skin at this point. If it is drinking or eating there is no need.

how funny! I was sure that was a typo! I think the ND does get delivered straight through mucous membranes anyway and yes this one hasn't started eating or drinking yet. Thanks hope I didn't offend with my assumption.

Most of this has already been answered, but I'm going to restate it to make sure i'm correct and add ONE( Ok, I came up with 2 questions, I lied) more question. So, if I want to OMGWTFBBQSAUCE clean everything between hatches, broods, or moving pens ( hrm.. will it kill lice? dsont sound like it) Im going to activate it with citric acid. I can do this as I use it.

1. Is it safe to use inside on my cutting boards? I Have been mising my sink and cutting boards with Oxine any time I use a home processed bird, or any meats. I have been reading Modernist Cusine( there is about 250 pages on kitchen sanitation and since using the suse vide and cooking at lower temps I have been MUCH more careful) , and they are unkind to chicken sanitation and I freaked out a bit. I know chicken poo gets around in my house, so I mist a lot of things.
2. Do I use ACTIVATED if I am trying to insure against MG in shipped eggs or fight against bacteria a hen may have in her tract? Or is that too strong for the baby inside the egg?

Thank you for the clarified info. I think I just remembered birds should not breath in activated and stopped at that point.

I don't get my nails done either! But Im lazy about how I look. I was pretty as a young thing without effort, so I still think I am and dont bother with almost anything. I buy a thing of makeup once every 10 years or so . I don't even get my hair cut by normal people, lol.

Yes, activate it to clean between hatches, pens, etc. IDK but I would guess that it does not kill lice because that's a parasite.

If you use it indoors for cutting boards, you have to activate it to kill salmonella. Which means you would need to wear the mask to avoid breathing it. Might be ok for processing times but kind of a hassle for everyday cleaning of cutting boards & countertops. I keep a spray bottle of peroxide for that. You might test to make sure that peroxide would not discolor your black counters!

For your other questions, I don't know. Call the distributor and ask. 1-800-786-4751

Nice to know that I'm not the only female in America that doesn't paint her nails.
