Hands on hatching and help

[SunHwaKwon]

Thanks me too.


Hey does anyone know can I give this baby save a chick probiotics in its water while I'm giving it nutridrench? @RubyNala97

That should be fine. I give mine the rooster booster electrolytes/vitamins/probiotics mixture, and that would be similar.

Lockdown last night. Recandled as I put them back in after filling water wells and sponges and there was one that didn't look right so I marked it and set it to the side in the bator. Got up this morning at 7 and there were 2 externally pipped so I candled to see how many were internally pipped. The one I questioned last night was done. I now have 8 external pips. I have found that the earlier they pip it seems the longer it takes to go from pip to zip, so I'm not expecting anything until tonight. There are a couple that don't even look drawn down and they are the couple that had the smaller air cells, so I don't know. Out of the 14 in there, I'm thinking maybe 12 will successfully hatch. I did take out the one that quit during the night and opened it up. The yolk sac was bad. Infected looking, so I'm thinking bacteria death. Luckily it was DIS and wasn't hatched with Omephalitis. Pretty bird though. Very white with a thin black mark down the back.

I asked my nephew if he still planned on brining guinea eggs for me to hatch, he said yes, but it would probably be a couple weeks, so we'll see.

Ok thanks.

Do you have a boy for them?

 

[rossfam06]

Do you have a boy for them?

I have 3 maybe 4 boys with them....hahahaha!!! . Not sure they are old enough to mount yet. I bought them from Lori Quast out of Ocala Fl. She sold me 4 birds for the price of 2. Amazing woman. Her birds came from GFF direct. So I am hoping here soon they will be fertile!!

I had a young silkie about a month or so ago that had a hurt leg. I'm not sure exactly what happened either but he could not put much of any weight on it the first 3-4 days, and when he held it up it appeared the toes curled but when I put my hand under his foot he could stretch out his toes and wrap them around my finger, so it told me he was just holding it that way. There was no inflamation, no open wound, no disfigurement and he was mobile enough to get to the feed/water and was pooping just fine. I decided to give him time, I did strengthen and massage the tendons a couple times a day as I read about in my research. After about day 4 he started putting more and more weight on it and with in the week he was almost back to walking normal. By probably about a week and a half to two he was walking normal and made a full recovery. He's my first crower out of the group and he's (so far) acting as the dominant bird and likes to attack toes when you walk in the run....lol

Have you checked for bumble foot? That would be my first inspection. If not bumble foot, feel the leg for excess heat, or swelling and the joints for dislocation. I did ALOT of reading trying to figure out what was wrong with my boy and was amazed at how many instances there was that were similiar to mine and the differences in recovery rates. But the majority of cases I read, they recovered well, but some took 3-4 weeks while others were fine after a week or two. Only the person taking care of the bird can register the severity and thus the decision to attempt to let it heal or to cull.
