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

[Chicken Egg 17]

This hatch I am doing is going to be a staggered hatch cause the eggs that weren't doing anything I have been replacing them with more eggs.

Here is his face before cleaning.





Poor guy is a trooper.

He actually looks pretty good. Did you witness the raccoon/rooster melee?

I treated and brought back to health 2 hens that had their heads and faces scalped by a raccoon. When they got to the point of your rooster, I knew they were going to make it.
My suggestion of Campho Phenique is because it is a pain and itch reliever as well as an antiseptic.
The purpose of the eye type ointment is that it melts at body temperature so will seep deep into wounds.

Can you clarify what you mean by betadine being organic iodine? Iodine is found on the periodic table, and also the primary ingredient to betadine. My understanding while iodine has many uses, betadine is iodine chemically massaged/enhanced to make iodine a better wound cleanser.

Thank you for making me do more research. (I'm being serious) I love learning and I hate misspeaking.
I learned the expression of organic iodine from a SE Asian cocker site while researching wound treatment. Apparently they misspoke due to translation issues.
Organic vs. inorganic when referring to iodine is not the same thing as speaking of organic vs. conventional produce.
Organic iodine (containing iodine-129 and iodine-131) is the radioactive type. So what one wants is inorganic iodine.
Betadine is available at all drug stores.
This is what I use for wound treatment.

Y'all eat the lungs & stomach?

Pardon me, while I barf!

I'd starve to death in your culture!

beef lungs - not chicken lungs

You do know what natural sausage casing is made from right?

Really glad I don't live near by them. Probably get quail and I don't have space.

Well my day has become quite a bit easier. The drain line has been cleared. Took 10 minutes. Of course it took all day to get to it yesterday. Now I just have to get the trees cut down that caused the problem.

There's a great product you need. It's called rootX. It won't harm pipes and destroys roots without harming the tree. Get the mixing funnel if you buy it. Otherwise it's very difficult to mix the chemicals.

What's the advantage to having quail? Their eggs are tiny, and while they are a delicacy, for eating (bird wise) they seem like a lot of trouble for almost no meat.

They're prolific with exquisitely flavored meat and eggs.

I just put a new chain on one of my saws...come get it

But they're great for training bird dogs! That's why I raised them. Hatching quail eggs was my 1st incubator experience. Actually it was my only experience for 30 years, 'til I started hatching chickens.

It was my first experience too.

Still don't know what that is, but at least I've heard of it

Haggis is a pudding that combines meat with oatmeal, onions, salt and spices. Traditionally cooked in a sheep's stomach.
The meat is usually the heart, liver and other parts of said sheep.
Usually accompanied by sides of bashed neeps and mashed tatties (turnips and potatoes)
Most modern haggis is in synthetic casing just like modern sausage.

Here's a recipe for you. You could have some for dinner tomorrow.

I heard that people who are allergic to chicken eggs, can sometimes eat other eggs. I can't even eat Mayo with out heartburn/bellyache.

Is that the same with quail?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I can't help you on that one.

I did not know those things, thanks!!!

I saw the raccoon in the run, once it saw me it worked on escaping, sadly it tore a hole in the roof before my husband and his.....shovel....could make it outside.

My biggest worry really is the eye bubbles and swelling. I am sure it's just from the injuries, though and my worries of respiratory illness are just me being crazy and paranoid.

To me it seems like fowl pox, sorry.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

You're right.
It really doesn't look like wounds from a predator attack. The comb is pretty susceptible to being torn and I see no bites.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Woo Hoo!!! I just pulled the last chick and unplugged the incubator for the first time since early May. I've had staggered hatches all summer.
I'm setting about a dozen olive eggers next Tuesday or Wednesday but I won't set any more Penedesencas till probably December.

I haven't done an official head count in a while but I think I have about 80 birds now.
Getting close to time to butcher some cockerels.

As a matter of fact, I do. All I can say is thank God for synthetic casings!

I prefer natural.... Who wants to eat plastic?
