I have a question for you all!

So I have 4 eggs left in the incubator. It is Day 26, so I gave them there 3-5 days of possible hatch time. If the embryos are not responding to the light, should I open them up and throw them away? Two are fully formed and the other has quite a bit of yolk left.

Got a really good one from incubator warehouse. Pre-calibrated for like $14. It made me realize that when I was going by my accurite, I was actually incubating my eggs at 94degrees and 57% humidity! No wonder they all had fluid in their lungs, huge yolk sacs at 23 days and various orthopedic problems!


The furosemide, by the way, is working really well for my mushy chicks. I can probably get by without the viagra, but I wish I had a way to do some nitric oxide and oxygen therapy. I just have this thing about animals with medical problems. I feel like there is always something (allbeit off-label) out there to fix the problem. Its not a bleeding-heart thing, its really just my insistence on being right about my diagnosis and fixing the problem.

Here is my official formula for treating a mushy chick: baytril- p.o. bid, furosemide or lasix p.o. bid, prednisone- p.o. sid (for the first 48 hrs only) and albuterol 1 puff 2X a day or you can make a nebulizer chamber and use the ampoules, or you can use aminophylline.

This is really only effective for mushy chicks that have that wet catch in their breathing, not the ones with the big, fat mushy, infected bellies, but the baytril may help for those.

Opened them up. They were already dead. One that I thought was already formed turned out to be just really, really dark and gunky yolk.
One was fully formed, no yolk, blood vessels receeded and everything, simply failed to pip and died as a result.
