EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[mlm Mike]

@BantyChooks Did you really mean a shot glass (1 ounce) or did you mean a rocks glass (4 - 6 ounces)

 

[BantyChooks]

I'd probably try getting her more than that. Have you let her dunk her head in a bucket or something at all or worried about the head wound?

Looking at the cup, it's a bit bigger than shot glass sized... Hard to say, coz it's the wrong shape.

She can't reach her head down far enough for that.

OK, so you have the water in with her, and she drinks when she wants, and you refill throughout the day. I wasn't sure if she was drinking on her own or you had to help her.

Poor duck, I hope she pulls through.

'Sweet Sally' and the hatchers, I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Yep. She drinks on her own.
I offered more food, and she nudged it a little....

Poor duck, I hope she pulls through. 

Thank you.

Howdy sour

I lost her. The best of my four of the six HRIR pullets. She was point of lay so I could not even save her genetics

WHY is it always the best ones or our favorites? I have over twenty layers in a pen none of which are important and they are all fine of course.

I am sorry it took me so long to update you guys. I spent all morning handling the others, making egg seed treats, putting out extra probiotics, and then doing goat chores.

Good day to you all may you have a great time with your families today.
