I dosed her with some meds for her very slightly pooey bottom and gave her some calcivet and she got back on the eggs late this afternoon. In the meantime, Steel got in the nest and sat on the eggs the whole day, only coming out for drinks and seed and straight back onto the eggs. Link to comment

Steel was trying to keep the eggs going. I dont know if the hen I put them with will manage to raise anything from them as I dont really know how long they were cold. At least Steel has shown his true merit as a father and partner....he's one of a kind that boy. I am very sad about Bih Lin. Other things going on at home so this just brings me crashing down in spirit. :yellowhead: Link to comment

Then I read you lost Bih Lin and I was shocked and so sad for you. That would be really awful :yellowhead: I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and I hope some of the eggs survive and you get a baby who looks like its mum. We are having the worst heat wave in Adelaide on record at the moment, so far 11 days over 35C. I have been really lucky so far, if my birds can just hang on through this til next Wednesday, when a break is supposed to be in sight. *hugs* Kaz, sorry again for your loss of such a beautiful bird.

Not really...she hadnt been sick as such...just out of the cage late afternoon with a slightly pooey bottom....nothing major. Not eggbound in any way. No cocci or anything like that. Possibilites seem to be she wasnt eating enough while she sat on the eggs and the additional heat knocked her off, or she got ecoli from food or water. But for ecoli to happen Steel would have been sick too and there was none of that....and they get fresh seed and water twice daily. Link to comment

I am sure he will settle but they were bonded, these two, from the age of chicks. I will watch him. The hen I fostered the eggs to is sitting on them. I hope they werent cold too long before I moved them. Edited March 14, 2008 by KAZ Link to comment
