First time hatching question!

So cute!! What kind are they?


They are cream brabanters.


Update: The lil guy didn't make it.. He passed this around 4am when I checked... I found him laying on his side and panting around 2am. It was heartbreaking to see him suffer.. It's so strange tho because earlier he was eating, drinking, pooping.. Moving around still... And chirping.. I don't get it.

Did he pass naturally or did you have to put him down? I'm so sorry!! I came very close to loosing the chick I assisted. Same thing happened. I checked at 5am and he was laying on his side, head shaking, and panting. I made him drink lots of electrolyte. And he had a miraculous recovery. But this was 12 hrs after hatch, not days. There could have been so many things wrong with him that just weren't visible to the eye. Maybe that's why he needed help to hatch. You did the best you could and gave him a chance! :hugs

He passed naturally.. I tried giving him some sav a chick but he didn't want to drink it and I just let him lay there peacefully.. I was thinking of putting an end but I couldn't.. I was afraid if I did it wrong he would suffer even more.. So yea.. Was so sad

the brooder is so quiet now cuz normally the lil guy be chirping.. I miss him!

I hope the other two will be okay. They are growing really fast!

I was wondering did you get your chicks vaccinated for the marek's disease?
