Well I am holding my breath and crossing my fingers, the buckeye on Monday morning was my last loss. I ran out to TSC and got medication for the water and sanitized everything again. I had seperated as many of the chicks I hatched that I could recognize, most were EE mixes so it was hard to differentiate between them and I was terrified of accidentally picking a hatchery chick and having her get the rest of them sick. They are in a 100 gal water trough in my garage. All I can say is , I am very thankful that nothing appears to have spread to my babies and whatever was killing my Meyer babies seems to have subsided. I still do knot know what was affecting my poor little babies and I feel horrible for not getting them on the Terramycin meds sooner. I pray that I don't loose anymore.
I have been in contact with Meyer, they were researching to see what could be the culprit. I talked with them last on Monday and sent them an email update yesterday. It sounds like they are going to reimburse me for the lost chicks. They are such a great company, one associate was on the phone with me for half an hour or more, trying to figure it out and listening to me blubber, that definitely made me feel better about the situation. And I also want to thank YOU GUYS for your support, it means a lot. Thank you.
Im thinking she is going to start laying really soon because her comb has gotten so big and her waddles are coming in fast. My other Leghorns comb and waddles are growing fast too, so I'm thinking they'll both probably lay right around the same time.
