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

Ok, the more reaserch I do on MG, the more dismal the outlook.....
Am I seriously going to have to give my flock a monthly dose of Denaguard at 50 bucks a bottle as long as I have chickens that have been exposed?!??! Or can I treat and than discontinue treatment after symptoms resolve? Will I never be able to sell chicks or exess roos?
How many days do you put Denaguard in the water? How soon is it effective?

I sure hope not, because if I have to do monthly treatments just to be able to hatch, I am not doing this.
I'm reading it wrong, right?

Quote: you have good vits electrolytes? you should grab a bag of grow gel and offer that before water and feed in the brooder, let them eat that first and then add the others after a few hours. I always do that. I am very interested in these chicks, I would love to get luke to hatch some at some point, he had NN at the old house and I had the farmer grab all the chickens before the move, because the coop was snowed in big time and had to stay.

Good luck!!

Sally I put my update in your text a couple of days ago. Can you find where I quoted you? It's ok if it's gone forever.

not sure what to tell you,  I run serama at 55 and then 70-75 for hatch.   did you have high temps and low humidity at the end?  day 17-18 or so???

The temp was right around 100 the entire time, and I bumped the humidity from 35% to 38% on day 14. When they went into lockdown on day 18, I set the humidity to 70%.

Good idea - I'll mix up some grow gel and put that in the brooder (they already have food and water there, but have mostly been napping, and now are sleeping). I'll also put some in the incubator (no pips right now). Thanks!

Naked Necks are AWESOME!
