Update! My hatch was done with the last two chicks. I put some more in for the neighbors and they are on day 5? I dunno. The Brinsea is driving me nuts I can't get the eggs to all turn.

What kind of brinsea?

Gram Negative treatments are ineffective against Gram Positive pathogens, and vice versa. You have to know exactly what you're treating for to have a successful recovery... unless you just get lucky.

Yes, and something like Baytril will treat almost all gram negative respiratory and digestive infections that poultry get.

well, gotta go candle a bunch of non-fertile silkie eggs, day 14

and a bunch of OE & EE eggs, days 14 & 7 respectively.
better get it done before I finish the second tumbler. might give me a reason to celebrate with a third!

Back in a bit.

if i have eggs sitting in a carton level in the incubator and the thermometer in the middle reads 101 and then i raise one end of the carton and the thermometer reads 102, is this fluctuation enough to kill the eggs?

can you try the tilt of the eggs in the carton instead of lifting? I posted pics a few pages back about doing this

Regarding Baytril... It is banned for use in poultry, but for those of you that don't care about that sort of thing you might want to think about getting a bottle of it.

Here are some pictures of my first ever sinus infection. Chick weight - 800 grams. Gave 0.16ml of 10% Baytril IM.

Here it is at 9 am:


Four hours later:




Here he is 8 hours later. Note that I have not wiped his face.







28 hours later - still some swelling that is hard to see in pictures and some clear drainage from nostril. Up five grams, which is not enough, but it's better than a loss.




Chick was 100% after just two shots, but gave two more per the recommendation of a vet.
