"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Those are nice breed choices!  Our incubator is a day or so behind yours.  

I think those with their incubators going at about the same time are Terri, Buggles, You, topdog and myself.  Anyone else I am missing?  I think Terri is a few days ahead of the rest of us.  I hope everyone has a good hatch!!!

Topdog, I collected eggs for 2 weeks and didn't really inspect them closely.  I don't think I am going to have anywhere near a 100% hatch, lol. 

I have a week or so for mine. Pam
 
Here's chick pics. One agressive chic pecked the eye of another chick Its watery and looks like it may be infected by morning. What can I do to help Him? I flushed it with saline solution. I have probiotics and vitimins in there water. He's eating good. Here are newer pics of my chicks.










Uhm, can I just say that their custom made ceramic feeder is totally RAD!

And all the chicks are looking really lovely. I've read of people using a spray of purified water with colloidal silver added to it and spritzing the eye with that mixture. I'm not sure, can that Vetericyn spray be used on the eye? I did use the silver mixture once last year, but I dabbed it on with a clean cotton ball, not spraying. It healed up fine. It was one of the chicks from the school. My girl said that she had a piece of food right at the corner of her eye and another chick pecked at it. Then it got a little gunky until we treated it. Only took a couple of days to get better.

Her eggs aren't green any more? Thats so odd but I had one do that before but I really liked that green. Pam
 
Prim, I hope you don't mind me asking. But all this about you loosing her and the suggestions that were given to help you has given me much to think about. And I don't know what I would do if I lost on of my favorite chickens. I don't know what I would do with the body.

Thank you I have the silver too. I may mix it tonight and try it. As for the feeder their are too many chicks for my regular feeder so this piece worked well.Prim will bury her I bet. Pam
