Air sacs:








The diagram from Sally's link, plus a few other pictures really helped me understand where the air sacs are. I know understand how when giving subcutaneous fluids I punctured an air sac.

yeppers, I loved the diagrams on it, I havent checked that page for other learning materials yet. I will probably forget about doing it. I am a half whit lately not sure what my problem is.

Thank you all for your advice our rosecomb died in the night

Well Roxie didn't kid while I was gone yesterday, but I really feel like it will be this week. I've alerted a few of the program staff to what labor signs look like (even though Roxie allegedly doesn't display them).

awwwww good luck

So I was thinking and thought I should elaborate a little about fluids...

@ChickenCanoe asked:

Which was in response to my post about giving 200 ml of fluids under the skin to a sick peahen who weighs 3.7 kg (8.14 pounds). That 200 ml is only 5.4% of her weight, which happens to be the amount most mature non laying hens drink in a day, so while it might seem like a lot, it was really just her daily maintenance dose, which made me remember the time my vet had me give fluids to an egg bound peahen... for that she suggested 200 ml under the skin *twice* a day, and I'm gonna guess that's because the fluid requirements of laying hens are more than twice that of non-laying hens.



Any of you watch Dr K? If so, did you see the last episode where they gave a 15 gram Sugar Glider 2 ml of fluids? Anyway, just something to think about the next time you read about someone trying to keep their bird or mammal hydrated using an eye dropper.

read back from the weekend taken care of. Unfortunately had to cut my hatch short. Woke up Sun morning to the most gosh awful smell I think I've ever smelled. Seems as though the chicks that hatched were playing soccer and managed to crack open an egg that shouldn't have made it to lockdown. The smell was horrible. Our bedroom is on the far end of the house from where the incubator was at and I could smell it as soon as I woke up. Hatched out 6 of the 8 EE's and 15 of the 30 cochins. Wish it hadn't ended that way but happy with the 21 chicks that I got. They are cleaned off and in the brooder. Seem to be doing fine. Photos coming shortly. Have to post those from my phone.

eeeeeekkkkk

First time hatching cochin's. They were sold as assorted colors, based on initial coloring I think I have mainly buffs, a few black and blue, and a few splash. Not sure what the black body with gray wings will turn out to be? Anybody with cochin here have thoughts. I will hit up the cochin threads later.

I agree. But I think that's why it isn't recommended to raise different species together.
It isn't even recommended to raise different ages together.

Quite right... many people do raise just one species, and those people don't usually have issues with blackhead, and many peafowl breeder keep same age chicks together, and some of us keep them off the dirt until they are 3-6 months old.

This is how one person (AugeredIn) keeps theirs:

[runt325]

[BullChick]

I eggtopsied one chick never internally pipped,

I'm sorry. I did see your post earlier. I didn't respond then because I am sometimes thoughtless.
Forgive me for being that way! I am sorry that the chick did not pip! It's a good thing that you did the eggtopsy, because it at least let you know what was going on.
