Official Squatch Watchers

Ohhhh wormer is a good idea.. that way if she does have something she won't spread it to the others. Poor girl! Does her other poo in the cage look ok, or are do you think it's been this diarrhea all day?

She hasn’t pooped in her cage.

I wonder, how much and how often do I need to feed her?

2 tsp water every hour?
1 tsp of food every hour? Or 2 hours?

FWIW I have high clay content too. For all my chicken runs I start by dumping a bunch of chunky organic matter (Mostly straw, but also grass clippings, leaves and wood shavings from the coop) and then use a rototiller to churn and mix it into the soil. We don't have one of our own so we rent one for the day from a hardware store.

For garden beds I use steer manure or mushroom compost, plus chunky organics and turn and mix it a lot. I also like to spread pecan mulch over the top of my flower beds once they are planted. Looks beautiful and breaks down and incorporates nicely over time.

Hmmm.. Even when Klaus was caged for 2 weeks I changed her towel 2x a day and it was always covered in poop... Have you seen her eat?

Is she eating & drinking on her own? How does her crop feel?

She did eat and drink a little yesterday. She is not eating or drinking on her own on her own today. Just sitting in the corner. I have not checked her crop. I will in a few when I offer some yogurt.

Would the yolk issue really be from opening the bator? It sounds more like it got punctured or something. Either way.. I wouldn't blame yourself. These things happen. It's one less boy for your flock though.

The yolk puddle was the reason I opened the bator, I looked in this morning and had to see what happened and keep the other one out of it. It happens, not the first one to get to the end and not make it but I do think it was only the second.
The last one is finally hatching though.
