"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Ron Skekel]

Thanks for clearing that up!

I understand where tour coming from with trashcan chicks but my incubators pretty good so nearly every chick hatchs on time, i even give them an extra day, but theres Zero progress with the leftover eggs, and after candling, i went ahead an shut her down.

Two looked like that one, internally piped, but gone

Two hadnt even drawn down...

One hatching fatality, Bresse chicks who was stuck to the egg i didnt find him in distress until it was too late.

5 (brown and green) removed of 48 set during incubation for infertilty.

I have a pretty good homemade candler, i use a large high powered flashlight, wish it was smaller but anyway, i taped a roll of fabric to the top, to make the egg seal against the light and i love to see whos developing

You and Cody have some of the nicest coops ive seen, i love the breeder layouts! Mine look sorta shabby in comparison, good thing the chickens dont care!
Mrs. Pam was great to work with in my experience, i wish you good luck with your colorful egg basket hunt i have two of her Black Isbars chicks and theyre Beautiful creatures!
I swear im gettin back to you next, soons i finish postin baby pictures

SO! Final numbers, 10 Bresse(of 14), 2 Black Isbars (of 2), 26 of my EE and Brown mutts(of 27.) for a grand total of 38/43 (locked down) 88% hatch im pretty flipn happy right over here

Let meet the babes! Isbars:

Bresse

Browns an Greens

Those are great numbers you should be very happy with those numbers. Pam

That's basically what I have. I bought the highest in lumens LED flashlight at Wallyworld I could find and put tape around the end to seal the light in.

You new chicks look good. Congrats on your hatch!

Thank you!

Turk, what kind of incubator do you use??

I have a brinsea octogon. I attribute a great deal of my success to the way it stays so steady

Pam,
I took a close look at the light sussex this afternoon when I was putting up the hens, and she was pox/scabs on her waddle and comb. Do you have any recommendations for treatment?

I PMed you Bob. I have a home remedy I use for foul pox which sounds like what is going on. I don't have any mixed up right now but I could mix you some tomorrow.For now give eletorlights and vitamins in water, If you have oregno essential oil you can put a drop in there water too. The most important thing is to keep an eye on her so if it turns wet you can act fast.Look for runny nose, wet looking scabs, trouble drinking with scabs on beak in and out side and running or bubbling eyes.
