perfect, just check your clearances to make sure it wont melt things around it   

this is a bulb that you would put on a vanity mirror, so should def be teflon free

Thank you

Last question. Humidity this time. What should the humidity be during incubation and then what does it need to be during lockdown? I think I read 60's and then up it to 80's but not sure

The humidity will spike as the eggs start to hatch. The shells open and the moisture is released faster into the air plus the little fellas will dry out raising the humidity also.

Thank you! First time trying to hatch. I've been reading quite a bit and everything is slightly different. I'm nervous about getting it right but I'm excited for new chicks!

Ralphie what's up with JJ??? He still kicking?

 

[Sally Sunshine]

My new doe and I are headed home.

dawwwwww

Help if you can....



I will have posted this a couple times. JJ seems to be dying. He is my oldest first pair of birds. Ethel was killed by a fur bearing critter, that I hope died a slow painful death....

I found JJ on the floor of the coop not moving. His head is swollen and he is very lethargic. He was in a Tom fight the other day. what Tom isn't this time of year. I told JJ he was too old for this kind of behavior. I am worried he has internal injuries in which case I can do nothing, or he has an infection from the head injuries. His head is swollen.

I have some liquid Vancomycin here. I have calculated the dosage to .25 ml. Based on human dosages.

I need to know if anyone knows if vancomycin is harmful to turkeys? If I do not get a definite answer I will be trying it, I am desperate.

I know I am not clear headed when talking about JJ. He is like a feathered dog to me. Losing him would be devastating. The WWD is with him know. we set up a hospital room in the hallway for him.

Thanks





Think of JJ as my duck... I love him more than you duxers love your duxs!! Thanks

awwww I am sorry
