Glad to hear about your uncle. I think it's so important for a person to be able to stay "at home" as long as possible. I LOVE to watch my girls run around chasing bugs, etc. Some days it's better than a glass of wine for relaxing me... Great idea, donating the eggs. Right now I have a few neighbors I drop eggs off to. I'll have to look at some options like you did...

Wow! The board has been busy! I scanned through and have to go back and really read everything a bit later. Hello, all!


anyone have any knowledge of incubating call ducks? I have one that at 7 this morning he broke lil hole in shell now at 945 hole lil bigger   how long do I need to give him I don't like to help with quail but do I with ducks?


I have heard that call ducks are very difficult to hatch because of their short beaks. Have you searched for a call duck thread yet? That's where I would look for answers. Good luck!


Unfortunately, many of us have bought from TSC this year and had the same thing happen. A few of us have also had losses from fully feathered chicks that were introduced to the TSC chicks with no symptoms as well. I have a thread asking for help and had 3 moderators respond saying they have no clue what has happened and advised to get a necropsy done to find out. I am not allowing the TSC chicks anywhere near my regular flock until I find out and already separated them from the other chicks that I have because they no longer want anything to do with the TSC chicks and I lost a very good polish.


I haven't been able to get an answer as to what hatchery they are using yet. I keep getting blank stares from them. My TSC is in a change of management right now from a piss poor manager to a cashier that doesn't know the job yet. I would love to have a necropsy done so I could know if they pose a risk to my regular flock but haven't been able to find where to get one done yet. If it is something that passes threw the egg then they are useless to me for breeding stock but I could keep them across the pasture from my regular flock for eggs. If it is something that can transfer further then the pen they are in I may have to cull if there isn't a way to treat them. So far I have no plans to mix them with my layer flock for fear that something will happen to my big girls.


It is scary to read how many people have lost chicks from TSC this year! The LSU vet school will perform a necropsy, but there is a pretty substantial cost. I think it was close to $100 when I brought in a turkey.
 
This is my PSA. Please pay attention.

I have a coworker who has been getting progressively more ill over the past 2 weeks. Her GP told her she had a gall bladder infection. Not so. She had to go to the ER this past weekend because she had major edema - there was so much fluid that she couldn't breathe. Turns out she has a bacterial growth on the aortic valve of her heart. The doctors believe the bacteria migrated from a recurring TOOTH INFECTION she fought several months ago. She did not see a dentist and have it treated properly. Now she must have a total valve replacement and a resection of her aorta. Very serious surgery with months of down time if everything goes well. Top that off with an estimated $400,000 bill.

Take care of your teeth and mouth! Oral infections can travel to the brain and heart. Scary, scary stuff!!!

Please say a prayer for my coworker. They have scheduled surgery for tomorrow morning. :(
