Jim, I ended up taking the heater of the top of the bator part and putting in the bottom of the main one with the turner mechanism. I am using the top brooder part to hatch and also was using 2 of the wire trays to hatch in also but didn't want to bump the humidity up too high so moved them all to the upper. This next batch I'll just move to one of the wire hatching trays as I only have that and the guineas eggs left and I can move them where ever. Not quite sure what I am doing. I have 7 dozen to put in which should of been done lastnight but I run outta oomph for the last few days. I have tomorrow off so hope to catch up on a few things I've been putting off. Sorry to hear about the lost pup. Rudy is doing ok although he now has bladder and bowel control problems. I'm not sure if it's medical or mental yet. His entrance and exit wounds look to be healing well other than the one has a lump now on his rib where it hit, I'm sure it's just bone particles growing together. I have to take his stitches out soon on his foot but he's still limping pretty good, will have to muzzle him for this as it's quite painful to the touch yet. Completely understandable as I know from experience how bad it hurts to get a gun shot to the foot! Worst pain I've ever felt in my life!
Had an MRI of my right knee yesterday as it's been bothering me so bad the past few weeks I can hardly walk or sleep or even bent it. Just as they started they come in and said they had found a metal piece in my leg showing up on the monitors, I don't recall where it would of came from but they advised if it started to burn hollar. Well that never caused a problem but in my left hand where the thumb bone meets the hand I felt a burning excrutiating pain that felt like my thumb was being ripped off. They advised there has to be some sort of metal in it to cause such a problem, they covered it with something or other can't remember the name and made a note in my record about it. I have appt Monday for the review as they are talking I need knee surgery as my patella has spurs and my tendon is moved in the wrong spot besides they advised it was broken at one point which I really can't remember that ever happening but ya never know with my mother as she never took me to the drs much like she should of.
Chicks are still hatching slowly, I'm having a major problem with my one bator, the humidity is way too friggen high and 4 chicks so far are having leg problems on one side only. I banded the 3 yesterday and they are fine now but another one hatched earlier with the same thing. I read online that too high of humidity can cause this, anyone else ever have this happen? I know it's not genetic as it never happened before on breed or bator but humidity was never a problem before either.
Hope everyone had a good day. Maybe I can catch up on some of these posts tomorrow on my day off.
