How do you guys clean our your incubators/water trays? I have

If you had late quitterz use something that kills bacteria. Big pusher of activated oxine here.
te name="juststruttin" url="/t/25/california-northern/51930#post_13652046"]Are you using that hatching tray?  Hopefully the mess in contained.  

It was out to be cleaned snd did not get put back in! I had to scrub.

I have 2 questions I need help with:
I decided to feed medicated chick start. I just never had cocci when I did.
Now I don't have it BUT, if your feeding medicated and your chicks get cocci, can you still give corid at the same time?
Wasn't sure if it would be overdosing

Second question: I have the genesis for hatching and clean it thoroughly with activated oxine.
But the display window seem to have chick dander in it. Does anyone clean that out? There's quite a bit but wasn't sure if I opened that up if I'd have problems

Thanks in advance

I use canned air to blow the dander out.

Never mind it's not shrink wrapped because the membrane in the egg is still on the egg, they just have some kind of weird membrane around them. Do I take them out of the membrane?

I agree with Ron on it quitting shortly before hatch.

@ronott1 what time does your mail come???

They are on the truck!

It should be any time now.

My Daughter will bring them in.

I can't wait to see how the packing worked. I may take some pictures of it.

I called and the eggs are here and the box looked good, according to my daughter.

HELP!!!!!!  I think my meaties have cocci.  I have lost 2 now (one the 2 days ago and I found another just now)   I have also seen very bloody poop in the brooder box.  I have Corrid and I wrote "1 1/2 Tsp per gallon on the label, but thought I remembers that a starting does was higher.  I know someone has a link to this info in thier signature, but can't find it....

Powder dose is 1.5 teaspoons or 4.536 grams per gallon. Liquid dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon. Either can also be given as an oral drench. Oral drench *and* in waterer is what I do for really sick ones. Oral drench dose for poultry is 20mg/kg, which is dead easy with the liquid, just give .2ml per 2.2 pounds. I give really small chicks the smallest drop possible, usually from a 22 guage needle ( (carefully, of course). Powder is a little harder, but if you have a scale, measure 1 gram (200mg), put that in a 10 ml or larger syringe, fill with water to the 10ml line, shake well and now you have liquid at 20mg per ml. I haven't tried mixing the powder with water, but this should work .

Now that I know that the RCom will not maintain temperature and the Genesis will not maintain humidity in a non climate controlled room, I need to find out if there are any incubators that can stay stable in a room without air conditioning and heat?

That is a challenge!

Incubators usually do not have built in cooling, so the room cannot go over 102 for long periods. It might be more economical to put in a window air conditioner. The cold air should not bow onto the incubator though.
