One of my mutts... I think he's quite beautiful.

One of my chicks has been laying down all day and doesn't seem to have much energy when it does walk. When the chicks drops it head water pours out of its mouth, but it keeps drinking like it can't get enough. It was 107 here yesterday but its only 96 so far. The crop is huge a swollen with...

Amusing! My chicks all come running when I call out "chick, chick, CHICKS!" They roam in our front yard and come running when they see my car pull up in the drive to greet me. NO ONE can convince me that chickens don't care about their "mommy".

Quote: I remove as many rows as needed from my turner. Put up a divider and let the hatching begin! You'll need to make sure the divider is high enough to stop the chicks from going over but clear of any of the warmer parts/fan on the lid of the incubator. Once everyone is done hatching clean...

Looks good to me!! Good luck!

The chick can't walk at all anymore and is just laying flat. When I hold it up its feet turn outwards, and the 'injured' one is almost turned completely out.

Quote: I did that and I could find no noticeable differences.

I set eggs on 9/15 so we're hatching buddies!!!

Okay I have a 2 day old sticky chick that has a swollen foot. It was fine yesterday and today its foot is swollen and hot none of the other chicks have this. What could it be? I don't see a scab so I don't think it's bumble foot. ** Chick is three days old now, and I've wrapped it's legs but...

Awesome thank you! I have some chicks that have been hatching since Tuesday (the last one hatched sometime during the night) and I was trying to determine which roo fathered which chick.
