Even with one ditzy broody, I prefer it over incubating. No electricity, I’m not tempted to candle, and if an egg doesn’t hatch, it wasn’t meant to.

:th

The two 3-week-olds went out today. They were bored in the house. Frost tonight, so I’m going to check on them now, but expect them to be fine.

Did you name it Bubbles?

Who has a link for the next hatch along? I decided to give my broodies eggs 45 minutes ago instead of waiting, and giving them feed store babies in a few weeks.

:hugs

Do you want something that controls humidity, it won’t be cheap.

Hatch an emu. :gig

The others probably didn’t have anything to do with it.

Of course. :hugs Did you learn anything from this hatch? It hurts, but if you discovered something, it can be done differently next time.

Oh my goodness, this would make the most adorable patches on a child’s overalls!

These are actually the first chicks he’s ever seen. He was actually last year‘s male chick. At least, I think so I’m looking at the picture. :lol: His uncle is the main roo as far as I know. Every time I think I can tell the difference, I doubt myself a day later.

Daddy!!!! :wee Then he ran away along with the mother(s). It does answer my question. When chicks see other chickens, they run to them... and the adults run away.

Definitely! I think Duckling was four when I had to put shoes on two quail. I swear I only managed it because she had tiny fingers to manipulate their tiny toes!

You can Band-Aid their legs together, or use a hair band.

Yes, it’s fine.

Don’t worry about it yet. If they still are like that tomorrow, use a Band-Aid to make a shoe.

When it is silver/gray.

:hugs The other should be fine. Just get those sponges and cloths wet.

You can leave the single chick in there for another day without issue. If nothing else hatches, get more from a feed store or put it in with a bird mirror or CD to make it feel less alone.
