INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

His joints aren't swollen. Thank you for the info though.

If it is a yeast issue what would treat it? ACV? I put garlic in his water, and he has the yogurt too. I am waiting on a call back from the vet to see if I need an exam to bring in the poo, if so then I can't get it done.

The joints wouldn't be swollen unless the kidney damage is beyond repair.
I doubt he's been on 4% calcium long enough to cause gout yet. I just mentioned that you should try another feed.
IMHO, when things go awry, it's best to go back to basics. Lots of fresh air, fresh clean water and fresh chicken feed formulated for the age of the bird.

Actual tests shouldn't be more than $25 for a fecal float and $35 for a gram stain, but if they also want to see the bird, that will be another $45 - $65.

Curiously, what antibiotics did you try?

-Kathy

Vets are expensive. Perhaps the state poultry lab would be a better choice.

penicillian, denagard, and oxytetracycline, they are on sulmet for cocci. Each antibiotic had at least a week inbetween with probiotics given, but I think I still messed up. Hopefully I can fix it. If it is in fact something that can be fixed.

THe girl didn't get the penicillin and she seems to be doing alright.

THis vet exam fee is $80 but he's the only local I know of that treats chickens.

That's lots of antibiotics for not knowing if it was even a bacterial problem.

day 25 hatch

 

[Sally Sunshine]

oh External day 22 hatch day 25 late see how much time it takes ducks?

 

[Ruthannnall]

dip your hand in warm water and reach in and quickly pull out a single egg. tap to hear for a peep and candle it. if you hear a peep put it back. 

Did you have any low temp swings? low temps can delay a hatch, and some chicks can hatch at day 25 and be okay, 21 days is just an estimate.

ok i will try that. I guess there could have been some low temperatures periods I was having trouble stabilizing temp when we was having all the rain.

Wow, that a lot for an exam! How close are you to the state lab?

-Kathy

About an hour and a half drive.

I snuck up on them a few minutes after fresh food and water. Can't remember who asked, but the roo is helping. Then he caught me watching them and gave me this look:

they are beautiful and the rooster helping is neat. You should see if it fits any of the contests.
