It is better.... I gave a big burst of Prednisone yesterday.... And it helped.
..I wasn't treating it hard enough.
Now I can back off a little a day.... And remember from now on not to quit taking the stuff in the middle of winter. Kind of like a depressed person decides they don't need their pills anymore do they quit taking them..... Then they end up backwards.

The Ag teacher at school ordered a long chick feeder with a plastic spiral rod across the top. They can't perch on it or scratch it out or scratch shavings in.

I thought of you when I posted that, too but you weren't online then. Actually there are several of you guys who hatch 24/7 - 365

I've got long feeders for the little ones, no shavings in that area, but they still seem to get some in there. But not nearly as bad.

And mine will be on for at least another 22 days, I just added more eggs

If duck personalities are as sweet as their pictures I can understand why you guys love them so much!

Glad you're breathing better!

I guess that way you never have to warm it up! Which one are you using this time?

That's great news, Phil! Is the weather breaking any up there?

Have 4 comet mutts and 3 LOs on day 13, added 8 more LOs and 10 golden sebrights. I'm having good interest in chicks. Most of this last hatch is already sold.

Still incubating in the Brinsea. Will use the FI for hatching since this last one went so well.

Responded on the other thread... welcome back, Jack...

The multi-level brooders at the feedstore I usually go to have feeders that are on the outside of the brooder, and the chicks stick their heads out to eat--it's pretty cool. Of course, I was just there yesterday, so I won't be there for a couple of weeks, and I probably can't justify going out there just to take a picture...

Wait a minute--let me see if I can find any pics online--the brooders are metal, so most likely manufactured...

Aha!



Better than I would've been able to take, anyway. I bet you could figure out something, Walnut. I've now got something involving an L-shaped pvc feeder and some form of attachment floating around in the back of my head...

I want some but cant justify the money.

This is the brooder type that we used at the farmstore I used to work for - LOVED them - added advantage being it kept people from picking up and handling the chicks (and then putting them back in the wrong breed group) - like you see at some stores.
