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

Liquid CMPK like I said about livestock products, many meds are the same ingredients different names, like our generics. TSC never has any in stock here so I have to buy the cmpk gel from animal health, but I asked them to look into a liquid and carry it, per my vet.


what I do? Hi Dax, your home is so cute!

Hi kat! Kat have you been on jeffers lately? go into their electrolyte health section, they have a bunch of good products now and can be used for many critters!



You did good, more than most would do and with over 50 kids in camp and your ringleader! At least you were tough enough to handle tubing etc and not pay a vet a small fortune, the items you bought in the long run can be reused if needed and are certainly much much less than a vet charge! I will remind you to please send out testing, and from now on, skip the auction for goats unless your going to eat them and purchase from a tested clean free herd! or Consult with Mike, Me or Dax first! In the end cheaper isnt always better esp animals!

oh no! I really dislike those incubators and thermostats, @generaldsherman Banty actually used a lego on the knob for the thermostat so you can fine tune it, seems like just a bit is huge on them! Also you can calibrate thermos google that if you havent, also try heat sinks in it!! First off, flat pebbles,marbles anything, just sterilize with a bit of bleach water and rinse well first, covering the bottom of the bator will help keep temps more regulated, the area bator is located is key as well. another lady uses easter eggs along with pebbles in the turner area she fills them with sand or something to keep heat in. the fuller the bator the better, in my coolerbators I aways use mason jars with water as heat sinks. Sorry so late to the game here, but perhaps can help later on!!
GOOD LUCK!! whatcha hatchin?



BENNY! I am so surprised at how few people I see in your images!!! My thoughts on that place is people out the butt all over!!

The buffs were wormed this winter, yes. I've been hatching since early spring, so through two seasons—the incubator is also in the basement, so it stays relatively stable and not too humid. I have some electrolytes somewhere.

I've got both. I did a pretty big stock up to my supplies last year for goats and chickens.

I cleaned it three times with two different cleaners, and no, no blow ups. Thanks for the help. :hugs

There are some people, I prefer not to include them in the pictures. It is off season now, because it is supposed to be the rainy season now, although we haven't seen even one drop. The hige season is
From December to April, but for me this time is not an option.
 
I need to refresh on genetics, looks like Ive got Black blue and splash not sure who to keep and not to keep, I prefer the blues. what also comes into play she has sent me sizzles too. I am keeping a few and sending the rest with a friend I babysit her kids at times.

Codominancy of the gene Bl
Black =Homozygot (blxbl)
Splash = Homozygot (BlxBl)
Blue= Heterozgot (Blxbl)
BlacxBlac=all black
Splash ×Splash =all splash
Blue×Blue=25% splash, 50% blue, 25% black
 
Remaining kids are doing well on bottles. Slowly increasing until they scour, then backing off. At 5oz each for the day so far. #1 (fawn head, right) is always the hungriest and will nibble on EVERYTHING. Campers got to hold them the first time today. Faces blurred to protect minors that don’t belong to me.
