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

[venymae]

OPINIONS NEEDED!​

Hey guys, I keep seeing people say -cain drugs, like those found in topical antibiotic cream are very toxic to chickens and not to use them. But then I found this. Which makes me think that maybe that's just a well perpetrated myth. What do you guys think?

Why are you upset about this???

I have been there too. It is a lot of work to grow out more chicks than expected.

Expanding too fast is a main cause of business failure

Thanks for the link!

I have read that lidocain is not as bad as thought.

I have read that chickens do not survive anesthesia though. I wonder if that one is true?

Only one way to find out!

I believe @casportpony looked into this some time ago. . I remember asking a question about it at some point.

Another study...not peer reviewed as far as I can tell but interesting none the less

What shaw said. I think the conclusion was that it could be bad if overdosed/used on a very small bird.
