MAY 2016 "Land of the Free Because of the brave!" Hatch-a-Long Hosted by, Mike & Sally

[Ur-ur-ur-urrr]

Welcome over Sir Ur. Same flavor as the last bunch?

Nice to be in the company of people I feel comfortable with!

Yep... exact same flavor from the same vat. Actually two varieties of the same flavor... eggs from two pens. Having 2 families of the same bloodline will allow me to breed idefinitely without having to introduce new blood. Will try to add a third family somewhere down the road...

 
  Welcome! 

Thanks, Mike!!!

Thank you, Sir Chaos. Don't worry... I always keep my guard up around you.

i have a peep that just hatched about 2 hours ago and she is huge, but she wont use her on leg
Ideas??

She might just still be tired from hatching. Is she trying to get up or just laying there?

now those are some great prizes! I would love to win some of those hatching eggs!!!!

Well of my 5 turkey eggs 2 looked to be quitters one later than the other and 3 were fully formed turkeys dead in shell....... So 0/5 .. discouraged upset.....

sorry

I understand.. my turkey eggs are all infertile... no idea why my tom isn't getting the job done.. nowhere near as hard as dead in shell though were they positioned properly?

Chick #19 out and cheeping away!!!

yeah!!

i have a peep that just hatched about 2 hours ago and she is huge, but she wont use her on leg
Ideas??

she is just laying there

it is only one leg she won't put weight on? does it go out to the side?

could be spraddle leg if it is to the side
could be a slipped achilles tendon if she will not bear any weight on it.

give pure undiluted NutriDrench chicken vitamins by beak (just dip the tip of her beak in and let her swallow it of her own accord) 3-5 times today
