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

I think that if you will use some Human concentrate nutrition powder, like Ensure diluted in some water and forced feed with a syringe, rt will do the work.

Don't have that....



I'm sure it's uncomfortable for her and painful, but since she's drinking, I would think that internally everything's ok, and if it was more than soft tissue injury (extensive though it is), meaning skeletal/spinal cord, she would not have survived. Meaning that she may not be doing it because it hurts, but you might need to, as Dax says, force the issue and straighten her neck - I may be reading this completely wrong, but she's GOT to eat or she won't heal (including enough to straighten her neck), and (don't know another way to say it), maybe you need to see if you can get her neck closer to the right position even if she doesn't want to or it hurts her. :hu

While trying to figure that out, any thoughts about a higher concentration sugar solution as a brief stop gap while you look at the tubing options? (Since there has been very little to no calorie input for several days now while her body is in a stressful situation that if anything would call for higher calorie needs.) There's not enough in Sav-a-Chick to be significant calorie input for an adult bird, I'm thinking...

Just tossing out ideas, you've probably thought about all of that, and you're the one looking at her/with her. Did you get other input from the duck folks on BYC?

:fl

I've been bugging Ravyn non-stop, lol..... Thanks. I'll think more about it.

is everyone else out shopping?

time for a second cup

light up in the pen, thinking about a second because of shadows

How long after turning on the light will I see egg production pick up?

The funny colouring. I didn't cut any feathers here, so the sharp feather edge confuses me.

Her poop. It's nearly glow-in-the-dark green.

Normal web

How she holds her head.

Wound.

Back, injured web. Still unresponsive to pinches. It's cold...

She starts breathing really hard and acting panicky when I take her out. I feel so bad doing it. :hit

Looks like she drank a few pieces of lettuce overnight..... I left another pile of food in with her to see if she'd eat it when I left her alone.
 
That looks awful. No shopping here, just chores and hooking up the horse trailer to get the ride I did not get to the other day. I have tons to do, but I don't care. What is the point if I never take time to ride.

Good morning Banti, Dan (:yesss: time to candle!), and Ocap.
