HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

[BullChick]

There's only 4 eggs in there so it shouldn't be a long hatch. I do teens to move chicks top the bride as soon as I can. The sooner I move them, the sooner I can play with them lol

Biotin

Deficiency
High death rate at 19 to 21 days of incubation(Yes have had more than normal not super high),
Embryos have parrot beak(do not have this),
Chondrodystrophy(slipped tendon-have had this just lately. These are heavy meat-type chicks),
Several skeletal deformities-(no),
and webbing between the toes( got one today).
​

Chicks are in a deficient state inside the egg, so hens are going to need vitamins in the water.
I will be changing feed companies. Local mill must have botched the vitamin mix. I am just about the only one who orders so feed may be old or deficient.

Biotin is present in feed-stuffs in both bound and free forms, and much of the bound biotin is apparently unavailable to animal species. For poultry (and presumably other species), often less than one-half of the micro-biologically determined biotin in a feed-stuff is biologically available (Scott, 1981; Frigg, 1984, 1987). ​

We got a bakers dozen, 4 late deaths in shell. One wry neck given nutridrench, vitamin e and selenium. 2 malpositioned needed assists. The dis were hens eggs the pullet eggs had no problems. I wonder if it because they have just finished their molt.
