teri Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 oh that's great news! are you keeping the name gooey?? i was just about to ask the same thing! i think everyone has been willing gooey on so much it can't be called anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 How many left to hatch Tasha? Eight but some of those were the ones that broody abandoned so may have already been incubated and died when they went cold, I bought a super dooper candler the other day so will check once the bulk of the 'good' one have hatched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Gooey is still, well, gooey he/she leaves the others to come and see me awwww (but it looks a right mess! ) I have candled the remaining 8 eggs and discarded two, the rest have a chance of hatching going by the guides on the internet I'm not holding out too much hope though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 They're lovely Tasha I don't suppose that any of the araucanas are banties....? Slip some of that Avipro you have in the water, that should perky Gooey up. Bless his socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't suppose that any of the araucanas are banties....? Well they are very small but came from normal sized eggs so we will have to wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 If it were me I'd give gooey a wash in some warm water, and pop him back in the incubator for an hour or so just to dry him off. We had a chick with pasted vent that I washed and put back in the incubator to dry off and she's fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
