I know right Sparky!  And she is coming to see me this weekend and getting some marans and silkie chicks!

Enabler!

Hey, Sparky!

I don't use medicated. I do use ACV and had a cocci outbreak this winter. Corid cleared it right up and no fatalities. ACV does not prevent but I think it helps fight against. I have a mixed flock and don't want to have to buy different feed for everyone. I use flock raiser crumbles for the littles up to 6 months or earlier. Depends on when they reach the adult feeder and start helping themselves. This is working for me. Helps that I got rid of the guineas and switched my coops/pens to sand.
x2 Can't wait to see an updated pic.

Corid is the same stuff as in medicated feed. Corid (Amprolium 9.6% liquid) 1 pt. bottle. (wt. 1 lb.) To treat Coccidiosis, mix 9. 5 cc (¼ ounce or ½ tablespoon) Corid to 1 gallon of water. Use as the only source of drinking water for 5 to 7 day

Idk......I've never candled before ok? I'm going to candle again tonight with a much better setup,darker,brighter light. Is there any way it could be a BAD thing?

here is a link to a really cool site for candling pics.

can't wait to hear what you see with dark and brighter light. I think what you are seeing is probably normal butI really would not know without seeing a pic.
Edit: the link is pretty graphic

works like a charm. I only treated for 5 days. I also treated that whole coop so it would not spread/get worse/mutate or whatever it does. Only had 4 littles sick that where in a separate pen in that coop. Treated everyone.

Here is a link on the problem from one of my trusted opinions on chicken heath.

It is the end of day 16. Is it too late to decide I don't want to do this anymore?

Sally, you are less than 3 hours away. Come hatch my eggs!

Sally, do you have an AC Moore or a Michael's nearby? Check their facebook page, or look online and get a 50% off one item coupon. You can get a desktop Daylight lamp w/magnifier very cheaply (considering) that way. I absolutely NEED mine to embroider any more, and I even sit under it on successive overcast days (like today ugh) to keep from getting the rainy day blues.

On another note - I have a duckling hatched and drying!

Woohoo!

Well crap. The soda machine screwed up. The thermostat went out. Going to start over. Gotta get a new thermostat and hook everything up again.

That really stinks. Toss the eggs or did you stuff them in the other 50 bators you have running.
