I'm using calamine lotion not helping.never heard of jewel weed.and yes I know.my brother was about 7 and he didn't tell my mom till he couldn't go to the bathroom anymore

Jewel weed grows wild. You might see if you have it. We get it near water and semi shady places.
Technu is never out in my medicine cabinet.

Can anyone offer me a bit of advise? I have three eggs in lockdown, two mal-positions that have externally pipped and one who hasn't internally or externally pipped. I candled the egg with no pips, there was no movement-it was mowing around alot last night. I started to chip away the shell in the airsack and still no movement even after i wet the airsack down to get a clearer vision.

I was about to open it up completely..but it moved. It Moved. Very weakly.

The Yolk, feet and butt are where the head should be, so its mal-positioned. I have no clue what so ever where the head is or the beak and what exactly im meant to do now? Its got very weak movement..

I have some advice, and I hope this does not seem rude. But never open an egg on day 20..,,(assuming these are chickens).


They need the last day. I try to never open an egg until well after 21 days. It just kills them. If they bleed they die 80% of the time.

Better luck next time.

Amazingly, even one of the ones with a messed up CAM has pipped.

That's great! .

Candled all 11. All 11 showing viable embryos. Good air cells! One week down, two more to go. Since I'm hatching OEGBs maybe a little less!!

Jewel weed and plantain. It's magic.

I have never heard plantain used like that. What /how??

 

[BantyChooks]

No...

Its in a cup with paper towels.

You took it out?!

Good luck.... Make sure it doesn't rupture the yolk...

No. Its just not in the whole shell... its still covered in a thick membrane.

Just stuff some jewelweed leaves an plantain in a blender, and blend it, lol... Doesn't take it away unless you catch it early, but it helps.

Yes, i understand what you mean...but it was weak, actually i thought it was dead because it only moved roughly twice.
