For what it's worth, just so you know, white earlobes can look aqua blue when bruised (happened to a Cream Legbar hen of mine who scratched her earlobe). Chicken bruises can be alarmingly bright blue, compared to what you might expect from human bruises.

You guys might (or might not) find this interesting. When I blot fountain pen ink on a wet paper towel (e.g. to wipe off a pen), over time the different components of that particular ink will spread in the paper towel at different rates and separate (like you may have done in chromatography in chemistry class).

Well, I used paper towels to help tend to Goodwin's tail picking injury and when I had to pull out the blood feathers, and was so flustered about the whole thing that I didn't discard the bloody paper towels once done. I came back a day later to tidy up and found this:

Thanks, I have heard of the ear bruising before. His ears are indeed this color though, they have been since a couple days after he hatched. Very neat picture of the blue color!



The eggs should be here today......

Banti, I can pull a bunch of info for you about Mycoplasma and explain it, but it may take me a little while - I have to get my driver side mirror repaired and then I have to write a teaching module on Brain Tumors (it's overdue). There may be a human microbiology angle to it, but I can certainly help explain why certain drugs work...

After about a week, the whole "do all the chicken chores in the morning" thing has crashed and burned. I simply don't have enough time in the morning before work - also, if I do them in the morning, I rush and get resentful. In the evening after work, I enjoy being around the chickens and it relaxes me. So, I'll just need to put up with being hot while doing them in the evenings.

Time to make more coffee...

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. What temp are they at in the brooder and when they stand in the brooder how do they look. Are they hanging their heads or tails down, are the drinking a lot or not at all, are they eating, are they laying around with their feathers all puffed up, do they sleep under the lamp or in the cooler corner?
Save your efforts. He has been diagnosed, given reccommendations, dosage, etc. By Kathy and multiple others. He has gone on for over twenty four hours over and over. He chooses to let them die.

Morning.
 
@BantyChooks "Is it bantam? I have an OEGB hen the spitting image of that'n."

For some reason I couldn't get the quote to work on this, but I have never had a bantam, but I think he may be. He is very much smaller than my other chicks from the same hatch. What does the "OEGB" stand for? He has slate grey legs, and his wing feathers seem to hang down longer than what I usually see. He's a pretty boy, I just don't know what he is. LOL.

Good morning all! Well I have 13!!! Eggs that still haven't hatched but I thought they looked like maybe they weren't all developing or at the same rate and I didn't check they were actually doing anything in 4 so I'm not sure what to do but I did open it to take them out and I put in new paper towels over the others because it's just so gross from the hatching and I like the chicks to hatch and not get covered in gunk and shell bits so we will see I will give them a few days. That's 19 that hatched over the last few days which I think puts 39 chicks in the raises brooder... So I should provably get on the selling a few of them lol. Mostly they're silver penciled rock x Sussex, white rock & buff orp but I can't tell 100% who's who. I will maybe post later and you guys can help me guess? I have to get them Out to clean out the brooder anyway so that's a good chance to snap a few photos & try and figure out who is who! I have hatched 3 that looked similar last hatch from the first few of these eggs and I have my assumptions lol.
 
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. What temp are they at in the brooder and when they stand in the brooder how do they look. Are they hanging their heads or tails down, are the drinking a lot or not at all, are they eating, are they laying around with their feathers all puffed up, do they sleep under the lamp or in the cooler corner?
they look dirty they both hanging there tail and head down and I don't know the temp they are drinking a a lot yes they are eating they are puffed they stay huddled up
