Hey!  Be nice now. I may be old, but I ain't cold yet.  Just 'cause there's snow on the roof don't mean there's no fire in the furnace.

Never doubted that for a minute Whites!

@casportpony In your experience, do most of the Muscovies that internally pip usually go on to externally pip, or do quite a few of them die before externally pipping?

That's my understanding as well. It only works with the original cross. So a BSL Hen can not be used to make more BSL.

I made nice ones with Lavender Orpington roo and br.

Okay so for the meds, just to clarify.


Tylan 200 is 0.125 ml per pound twice a day

or

Tylan 50 is 0.5 ml per pound twice a day

Yes. That works out to a total of 50 mg per pound per day. Note that it's a larger dose that most people on BYC recommend, but it is the amount that the makers of Tylan recommend when using the powder.

CRD indications:

• Administer medicated drinking water for three days; however, medicated water may be administered for one to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated chickens must consume enough medicated water to provide 50 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.

Turkeys:

• Administer medicated drinking water for three days; however, medicated water may be administered for two to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated turkeys must consume enough medicated water to provide 60 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.

Disclaimer - I have no medical training, but I do believe this is the best way to give injectable Tylan.

I think most will externally pip, but might take up to 48 hours to do it.

Sharing good thoughts. And it's true, all of the candy will be on sale. Just wish I could eat it. I can take one, one is all. A blood sugar thing..hypoglycemia. :/

IMHO, if any avian embryo pips and doesn't hatch the problem could be the following:
Low humidity or temperature for a prolonged period (weakening the embryo)
Low humidity during hatching
Nutritional deficiencies
Poor ventilation
Prolonged egg storage
Inadequate turning during first 12 days
High temperature during hatching
Breeder diseases


If one species or breed were to have specific problems with proper incubation, the problem could be a small gene pool.
