Have you set the eggs already? Your humidity is to high for the first 18 days. You need to remove some water. I keep mine at around 35%. Get it to about 65% last three days. Usually humidity will spike when your babies are hatching.....leave it alone it will go back down. You need to be turning...

Quote: Do you have a pic of what it looked like after it healed? I have one that will be losing about the same amount of his comb and was wondering what it will look like.

Sorry you didn't get a reply. Not sure why your chicken would refuse to walk or stand either? Sometimes if I don't have an answer I don't reply because I can't help. I would like to know what was wrong and if you were able to correct the problem though.

Good luck to you to Bock_Bock

I have 6 FBCM that I put in on the 3rd so I am with you also. I also bought two FBCM chicks to go with my baby that hatched New Years Day. Wouldn't stop screaming it fool head off! Now it is so quiet I have to check the brooder on a very regular basis to make sure all is well!

I don't have any true Ameracaunas but I do have about 15 EEs and most of them have been laying all winter. It has been very cold, wet and windy here since Nov. and they have only gave me a few days of lower production. I am very happy with them and want to a true Ameracaunas in the spring.

You can do a search here for wry neck, there are many posts on this issue. I have had two Silkies that I have nursed through it. You will need Poly-Visol without iron, vitamin E (full spectrum is what I used), and B-12. I gave them twice a day. I got all of them at the drug store. Run a search...

I am so sorry to hear of you loss.

Quote: I think if you went shopping and got you a rifle she would be ok with that when you hand her the incubator for the eggs she is going to want to hatch. Tell her you got the rifle to protect her precious babies.
