"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[lakones]

I've got some with blood in the droppings this morning. There are two groups that are together durning the day and I am seeing it in both groups. (6) 5 week old BLRW and (10) 2 week old cuckoo marans. Any suggestions?

And my hen with the dirty butt is on day 2.5 of isolation with acv water and yogurt/wheat germ/layer crumble mix 3 times a day. She is eating/drinking fine, but still has the some Ella discharge. Any other things to do with her?

I don't know what to tell you on the hen

On the young chicks, You need to get some Sulmet 12.5 % and mix 3 tbl spoons per gallon of water, do this for 2 days, the blood will clear up or get Corrid and treat them according to instructions, I will see if I can find the mix rate for the corrid. here it is, good luck, 5cc= 1 teaspoon...per gallon of water,

I have hatching eggs if you are going to keep breeding legbars. I know they are fertile and you would know weather its your hen or your bator. I've hatched them all the time. all my hens even her hatch mate lays almost everyday. They don't lay than stop like you describe. Pam

It isn't the roo, and as far as the hen, I have had to move her around some during expansion and caused her to stop laying again, I have spot checked her eggs multiple times and found all fertile, I have put eggs straight out of the nest in the bator, all other eggs set with them hatch fine, so it isn't the incubator or procedure, at first I suspected the roo, but have multiple chicks from other hens from him. I will doing a solo hatch with only her eggs next time when ever that may be, if this fails I plan to put my DOM roo which i have a 90%+ hatch rate from over her and try again.

Pam, on the hatching eggs, I may get a few from you just to get a small flock started while figuring out what to do with my pair, both my incubators are full till the middle of May, I will be using the digital 4250 that is a Cadillac, all you do is monitor the humidity, it counts down your days, stays at a constant 99.5/100 degrees and 40/45% humidity without water and is in a stable environment at 66/73 degrees, where the door is only opened twice a day when checking the incubators.

Thata is so wierd. he only thing I do diffrent is keep humidty At 30 to 35 till lock down then bump it to 35 to 40. By then my jill resse line will be layng. I'll be able to give you two different lines. Both unrelated to the ones you have now. Pam

Update on the eggs: I went ahead and emptied all water from the incubator last night just to see what it would hold at on its own. Today I checked and it was at 20%, so I added a small amount of water and checked air cells. Progress has been made! They now all have small air cells. Thank you for the advice. I'm going to monitor them carefully and see what humidity is needed to get constant air cell growth

Your young chicks, it's probably coccidiostat. You need Corrid as soon as you can get it. I had it with mine, i used sulmet, but it came back, i then used Corrid and it fixed the problem. Hope they get better soon!

I got the corid and started it last night. Hopefully it is soon enough!
I've spent way to much time looking at the wrong end of a chicken the last few days. This is not the fun part of chicken keeping!!!

Anyone use the horizontal water nipples? I'm thinking up feed/water systems for my brooder. The month old chicks are making huge messes with the jar feeders. I love jar feeders, but I'm filling/cleaning them several times a day. Ain't nobody got time for that.

So I'm thinking I can run one PVC pipe through the front length of the brooder, through all three sections, with three nipples per section, and fill it from the outside. And I'm thinking PVC feeders are also the way to go.

I have two of these. White with a black spot or two. They are called sapphires. DMRippy has them and they are super blue egg layers. Extra large white eggs with a tinge of blue. Every day layers. I like them a lot. That is how you make them. Both are crested.

Good info Linda, I have a roo that is from the same gross, has super blue earlobes and is snow white, he has the CL comb and looks like an Ethiopian, tall and thin, kind of odd looking. I am wondering what will happen if I cross her back to the CCLroo, no telling I guess, I did have a black from this hatch and it was also crested, unfortunately I lost it before I knew anything was wrong with it.
