After a week of Tylan200 doses, constant reading and questioning on the Emergency thread, my sick chick did not get any better. I came home from work today, with the intention of dosing it duramycin. Cleaned it's butt since it was stuck up with poop, attempted to give it a little bit of water by dipping it's beak, and it started violently convulsing and died in my lap. First time for me, so this is pretty difficult. At least now it's suffering has ended, but I wish I could have made it healthy.

I might send it for a necropsy, but not sure if it would be invalid because I've been giving it Tylan. It's in a bag right now. Not sure if I should put it in the fridge? Fiancée is freaked out by that.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

So sorry, that must have been terrible. I hate to see them suffer. You did everything you could though.
 
I hunk I have to remove two more eggs from the bator. One is a langshan egg that looks like it may have stopped developing, maybe two are like that. I hope I at least get two hens from the hatch. The turkey egg with the side air cell seems to have stopped developing as well, I am going to check in a couple days to make sure.

Unfortunately, I had another heat spike yesterday when it got very warm. Do they sell incubators that adjust the temps automatically? I would assume they do, but what is the approximate cost? I hate having to be always concerned about adjusting this little whirlygig handle thingy.

I am enjoying this nice spring break, but it was so hot today! I feel like I was finally acclimating to the cold, and I can't handle the heat yet. :lol:

Can't wait to get planting though!
 
Last couple days to make plans before the chicken train departs... So far I believe I am picking up some poults from Aurora for Blarney on my way out (@Blarneyeggs , we need to talk about drop off)... and picking up some chicks from @dheltzel for @hyzenthlay on my way back on Tuesday.

Hi ,
the t-shirt and the cabinet incubator courtesy of my wonderful husband Bob. I got the incubator from Carl Thompson in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. He's got a couple of other ones he wants to sell.
Today I put in 14 light Sussex eggs in and 10 crossbred light Sussex X Cuckoo Marans eggs.
400


Best,
Karen

I was at the Green Dragon Small Animal Auction last year, but didn't have the time to stay around for the 630pm start. I did have a look at a few early arrivals. Some bantam pairs in boxes.

This Friday will be the only day of the year the market falls on a holiday, should make for a big auction. The Green Dragon is crowded enough on a normal day and I can't face it on Good Friday. Tinkering in the garage on something instead sounds good to me.

Last Friday night it lasted till 2:15am with animals. The still had misc supplies and produce after that. This Friday there should be less too close to holiday. We waited to go in at 9 when it thinned out some. Was 1am when our lots sold, still got good prices.
I always wanted to check Roots out sometimes. Looks like I'll pass with the rough handling and box tossing.
