what if your chicken is lame and his feathers are getting wet from the grass. I'm thinking of trying to protect his chest feathers from getting wet and him getting a chill...

thanks AmyLynn2374

not the best of pics, i know, but our hen Flower, decided to get broody in our cat box, so the cat has been without her bed for several weeks now & the bed is black, & the chick is black..... so..... happy days!!!

well, anyway, we have the most adorable little chick. The mother is a black rock, the father a silkie/frizzle cross, so this baby is black like mummy, but looks like a silkie chick, very tiny with same facial features as a silkie, will post a pic when I can get in for a better look <3

thanks for your support WVduckchick, did candle, they looked v still, so decided to take the plunge, they were both dead, but it has been well over 24 hrs since the first hatched
