Snowflake, all the times I have ordered the large bottle is the liquid, and the small is the freeze dried wafer.

Here is their link to the directions

Congrats on the chicks! I hope to start hatching some Magpie ducklings in a month or two, when I get enough eggs flowing in. There is a lot of local interest in them.

Hi, do I understand then, that you can take from both bottles and mix in a 3rd bottle?

@aart
Congrats ..they are SO cute!
I had my first broody last April...what a cool experience, she hatched & raised 5; 1 of which just laid her first egg this week.

I will NEVER have chicks in the house again..a broody is the way to go!

I have a eggbound hen. Is there anything that I can do before I put her out of misery? I tried feeling for the egg, but can't find it.

You can give her Tums for calcium and lube up her vent. As stated above, the warm bath will help, along with holding her above steam. If you do this, keep her in a dark area. Good luck.

I had a eggbound silkie, she's okay now.


Congrats on the chicks

Mine had a 100% hatch, too!

You will see mama broody keeping her babies under her when it gets really cold...mine would migrate the whole flock to the feed dish and hover over the top of it so the babies could eat and not get out from under her wings. She hatched them during the single-digit negative-digit days

Got the south arena door opened up today. It was frozen in solid. Hopefully, we can get a shipment of sawdust into our pit in the arena sometime this week. shoveled, mattocked, prided, tugged, salted, and hammered that sucker open today. And with all of the melt dripping off of the roof, my carhartt got its yearly washing.
