A follicular cyst begins when something goes wrong and the follicle doesn't rupture or release its egg. Instead it grows and turns into a cyst and ruptures same sings as a ruptured appendix. I'll be right as rain in a few days to a week. Thank you ..My daughter is GREAT she even kept her 9 year old brother

Awww!! I hope that you feel better soon! Scary pain though!!

What should I do for the chick bleeding out of his navel from hatching? He's kinda stuck to the shell and I don't wanna pull him off and rip something

For those that have ever had a respiratory infection in their flock, take a look at this: @Fire Ant Farm or anyone else, can you explain what all this means? I see that sulfadimethoxine has a susceptible next to it, does that mean that I could have been used? Just curious... Anyway, the peafowl this was for was not mine and the owner's vet ended up prescribing [COLOR=545454]gamithromycin, which is a cattle drug that is given by injection once every 7 days. I think.[/COLOR] [COLOR=545454]This is the same bird, but different drugs tested:[/COLOR] -Kathy

If you have had respiratory issues with your flock in the past but it went away without meds, would you do anything?

I've been pretty lucky and haven't had to treat more than a few, but if I had something go through my flock and clear up on it's own I wouldn't do anything except maybe have an antibiotic or two on hand in case I had another like the peachick I posted about. My friend was not as lucky... He tried Tylan (tylosin), then Baytril (enrofloxacin) and maybe another one or two. This pseudomonas spread very quickly and he lost 10% of his youngstock before his report came back and they switched to gamithromycin. -Kathy

 

[Studio Chick]

Wow, I was just here this afternoon talking about CBs and stuff. I will have to go back and read all the posts after I get stuff figured out here. My trusty Hovabator is starting to go wonky on me tonight, my eggs will be on day seven tomorrow. It has been spot on this whole time, except when I cook, or shower the humidity rises. In case you don't remember, I left my farm after a break up, and I am now living in a studio apartment, so any little thing I do changes things! (I am still waiting on my name to be changed to studio chick). I wanted to get a new wafer and thought I had ordered it from incubator warehouse, come to find out, I did not press the last button that said "place order"

I figured that out a couple of days ago so hopefully it will be here Monday. This is my first time hatching Silkies, the couple of eggs I sneaked a peak at looked to have pretty small air cells. They were local eggs, the guy said he hatches them along with his Orps and told me not to make any changes with how I hatch (I have only hatched Orpingtons). But now I am wondering if I should lower the humidity even more, since I am in such a small place and anything I do seems to effect it. I also just noticed it is 12:30 am, that means it is officially day seven, I could candle. But I can't get the temp up now, so I don't want to push it

I have seen this asked before, and they say to dab something on the bleeder....I can't remember what. When my baby was stuck to the shell by the umbilical cord, it wasn't bleeding. It took almost 40 minutes for it to break away. It was running all over the 'bator dragging the shell. The cord dried up and broke off. How bloody is it?
