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

[duluthralphie]

I needed it for my husband, and for his great aunt.

Husband got it from the hospital during a back surgery. His great aunt got it when a doctor cleaned her ears out, and she began to bleed. She got it again from a hospital stay.

Are you sure it was Vancomycin? As I understand it Vancomycin is an antibiotic that does not leave the gut. Unless he picked up C-diff or colitis Vancomycin would do not good. I know there is another antibiotic that sounds a lot like vancomycin but that name escapes me now, it would work on the back.

Good morning everyone!
25*F when I got up, a balmy 28*F now.
I think I have the fence fixed now, so that Clover is unable to crawl through now. I don't mind her around the chickens and the bucks, it's just that once she is in there she is essentially free by crawling under a fence and I live on a state route that can be busy at times.

I wish it would get as high as 25 here today!!! You are so lucky to have that heat spell hitting you...

You win. Odd. I wonder how I've been making that mistake.

You might have, I'm new to this particular subject. I only know something was in it as I was getting ready to toss the eggs that had not piped. Its the last one though and the rest are hatched.

I’ve had the same fear, and so made a small external pip in the air cell, especially if there is an internal pip. But that’s it! Let the baby do the rest And definitely read Sally’s articles! There are some downs to assisted hatch. I have lost one i did help, saved a few. Good luck!! And keep us posted.

the C-diff antibiotic???

Ugh C-diff!!! I’ve worked in neurodiagnostics for 18 years and that’s one of the worst of the nasties! So hard to kill.

Yes, I'll have make sure to put the sunscreen on if I'll be out for very long.

But I smell like a chicken. No chicken face today though. I only hand hugged.

I always stuff my nose into my rooster, Cupid to smell him! He smells so good!!!Sure I get some weird looks.. but i don’t care. Lol my daughter laughed so hard she had tears coming out. Until I convinced her to smell him. She loved his smell to.

It’s 40 here and low 20 s tonight. :/ Chickens are not happy. They’re in for a long winter.

I am glad you got it fixed. If you want to do more fencing or shed work I could use more hands tomorrow
32°F here

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday.
It’s to cold and I’ve just got my coffee cup. Think I’ll stay in my brooder room today playing with my chicks.
