[Sally Sunshine]

I'm going to my corner and cry now. No one wants to talk to me. Lol. If anyone wants to know , my little baby chick is brighteyed and bushy tailed today. My hen still looks terrible with a limp. How can I tell if her wound it infected? Also how can I check her temp.? In her vent? What's a hens temp.supposed to be?

well if I woulda read I would have seen it DOH!!!

glad the chick is doing good!
I have no clue about the hen, thats Kaths teritory

Checking in, how are the eggs and the hen Red? 

How is Granny doing? 

All were dead. They looked fully developed too if this had of happened the day after, I think all the chicks would've hatched. Or if I was more experienced. Feeling bad that I didn't do enough.

hmmmmm ALTHOUGH if she hasnt been eating......

On the morning the average temperature of the growing chicken. It is found at 41.8 degrees C +/- 0.18 degrees. After one day without having eaten, the bodily temperature diminishes to 40.41 degrees +/- 0.97 degrees (-1.39 degrees). After two days without having eaten the temperature diminishes to 39.68 degrees C +/- 0.89 degrees (-2.12 degrees). After the first day of re-feeding the average temperature is 41.28 degrees C +/- 0.52 degrees C. During the period of no feeding the reduction in bodily temperature depends on the metabolic material availability. We can assume that the thermoregulator mechanisms are not modified by non-feeding and that the reduction in temperature is caused by the non efficiency of their normal efferents.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/576010

It sure wasn't your fault by any means!

And I told you about such talk yesterday!
Nature can be cruel as much as it can be wonderful, what we experience only makes us stronger and wiser!
Perhaps you could learn a bit more about incubation if it has you interested now?

Suicide is a horrible thing. My step father committed suicide after he remarried. My X's father committed suicide. Devastating....
