what should be in everyone's quail First Aid kits....?

[huntercf]

I have some styptic (sic) powder to stop bleeding, also I have no-pick (nasty purple goo). I would also add a syringe for feeding electrolytes.

I can't believe I forgot about the syringe ( real small one) and the tweezers.
I have both out and ready at every hatching. Hopefully no need to use after the hatch and first days.
Used on shipped chicks though for pasty butt.

Tweezers used (quiet wisper) to open shell to help baby out if absolutley necessary. Don't tell anyone.
Did that once with quail chick and it did not make it.

Styptic, I have and have never used. Man you people have a lot of bloody birds. My guys must really be calm.



mhwc56 are you going to edit your first post and keep a running list. That would be good. A list of things and say one simple explanation of use, if not obvious.

All good items to have. I would add 3/4" wide band aids. I cut them in half lengthwise and use them to fix splayed legs on new hatches. Do a Google search on how to fix them. Also use a small syringe to give a drop or two of sugar water to get the slower starters drinking.

I'm in a sticky mood tonight. So I asked for this one to get stuck.
I think we can get mhwc to bring it all together in the first memo.

Lets work on it somemore. Shall we. Try to cover what is coming up now that Winter is here. Then of course comes the Summer heat and its problems.
