it tore through our house over the past week too and my son got it worst of all. We actualy had to take him to the doctor because it went to his chest. Poor guy only made it to school one day this week and they have him on a strong antibiotic (z-pack, or something like that?). He actually woke up panicked one night because he couldn't breathe. Scary.
More head and chest. Of course I didn't eat for almost two days, so I don't know about stomach.
The bad thing about living alone: when you're sick, no one takes care of you and the chores still need done.

Others are pipped and some have nothing. 
So cute! Also, my aunt said her little chicks are thriving and she is enjoying their developing plumage. She said they seem to be getting feathers in quicker than she remembers her TSC chicks from a few years ago. Do you think this is because A: she has a poor memory (ha!) or B: yours are bred to be good egg layers and hardy, so they have to develop faster? Just curious on your opinion.I drop the temp to 98.5 (or close) for hatching (forced air incubator). High humidity + high temps is dangerous according the the Porter Turkey website. I follow "turkey protocols" because I consider them slightly harder to hatch than chickens, so I figure good for them is optimal for chicks. Here are some of the turkeys (and a guinea) in my basement. The white ones are Midget Whites and the 3 dark ones are Royal Palm x Black Mottled. One of our black mottled hens is my very favorite bird on the whole farm. She really knows how to extract treats from me, I expect her babies are learning that too.
It must be because they are "super chicks"
