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

Y'all a quiet bunch today

 

[BullChick]

Yes, it is.

 

[kwhites634]

did you see the chick question with umbilical cord?

Yeah, I did; didn't have a definitive answer, though.
Is the cord so long it could be stepped on? I'd think that could be a problem
If it's not, since it's no longer attached to anything on the other, I'd suppose it should dry up & slough off.
somewhat akin to banding a bull calf.

Poo results are back! It's cocci. No worms, bacteria ,or yeast.

Vet suggests .5 albon orally for 5 days.

Did the vet sell you Albon? Curiously, for my dosing records, how much does he weigh?

Eggs are in the bator

YAY I need to add you to the hatching list Phil!!! more details!!! breed how many set day is today obviously!!!! go babies!

One of the chicks seemed to have the umbilical cord around its leg, and pulled it's belly button out a bit? I was able to get the cord off the leg. It's still alive and moving around. Should I do anything to the navel?

images? see the umbilical section of the notes too

Abstract

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3931211/

Context:

Noise acts as an environmental stressor as has been demonstrated by an increased brain acetyl cholinesterase activity as well as elevated plasma corticosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels. Noise can lead to neurodegenerative changes in the brain and in the ear.
Aim:

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of chronic noise on growth and development during the sensitive period of embryonic life.
Materials and Methods:

In this study, we analyzed the body weight, brain weight and brain size following prenatal chronic noise exposure. Fertilized eggs of domestic chicks were exposed to chronic excessive acoustic stimulation with frequency of the sound ranging from 30 to 3000 Hz with a peak at 2700 Hz was given at 110 dB sound pressure level from embryonic day (E) 10 until hatching.
Results:

An appreciable decrease in body weight, brain weight and brain size was evident in the experimental group exposed to noise. A generalized decrease in the neuronal nuclear size and increase in the density of neurons was also observed.
Conclusion:

These observations could be an indicator of growth and developmental retardation following exposure to noise.

Ok so I went digging to find out what the effects of music on an incubating egg were. I found this webpage a most interesting read.

I'm not sure if it's in the article, but here it is

I also am curious as to the effects of music on incubating eggs... Sometimes the volume just has to go up. Electric guitars tend to make lots of noise too... I can't help it

Nice!!! What type

Khaki Campbell...they are my own eggs not expecting a lot as I picked them before they froze but they did get cold.....if it doesn't work out I'll try again.

The vet didn't sell it to me. I'm gonna hunt it down or order it online. I plan on weighing Gordon and Blue and calling the vet to confirm the dose. He was going off of memory from the weight of the bird in Feb. I will let you know what he says.

@Sally Sunshine Thank you for the link. I was actually lurking as a guest reading the house article and found the ovation link. I understand now
