Wrong answer!!  :barnie
Phage, like everyone here, is trying to help you.
Coming back with smart-alec answers such as this one is eventually going to result in your post being totally ignored. I hope you won't be too surprised when that happens.
that already happens most get ignored
 
Good morning all!! I did a spotty read back. Happy Birthday @flocktastic !!!!! Wow, you guys are GREAT at assisting hatches, lots of hatching, lots of pipping!! We need more pictures!!

I just moved 16 cute little babies to the brooder. I left 6 not quite dry babies in the 'bator along with 12 eggs. There are several pips, we're just waiting for more to hatch!

I moved Bantum EE's and Spitzhauben. I put them into the brooder with the 5 silkie/sizzle/frilkie, 2 CCL's and 3 of my broody's silkies from earlier in the week . Now, I have no idea which is which. They will start to look different once they grow, right?

Strange thing is, I had a silkie/sizzle/frilkie with spraddle leg. I hobbled it and put it in the bin. I dropped in all the bantam EE's and the Spizhauben and went to pick up the spraddle leg to make sure the hobble was in place, and it wasn't!! But then i looked, and it's twin was hobbling along, still in the brooder. That one was hobbled, and the one I was checking, didn't have spraddle leg. So,how can a sizzle/silkie/frizzle look EXACTLY like a bantam EE (I think)? They are a soft yellow with twin black stripes down their backs.

Here's the crowded lockdown 'bator, with 22 babies!!





I'll try to get more baby photos once they get settled into the brooder!

This is the MOST chicks I've hatched at once!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeee

There was someone on here yesterday asking how to make a hobble. Did you happen to catch it? I don't recall them ever getting an answer, but I may have missed it.

I did not see that post. I hope they see this one!!

What I used was a drinking straw and a small rubber band. I cut a piece of the drinking straw to the size I wanted between the chicks legs. Then I fed the rubber band through the straw. I hooked the rubber band to each leg with the straw in between. It took 2 people. I don't think I could have done it by myself. I'll try to track down someone to help me with a photo.

But here's a video of what I did:



I put the chick into a tupperware container, then walked away for 2 minutes, came back and the chick had escaped the container.

Sounds like a slick idea! I'm pretty sure it was one of the new folks that have come in lately, but I can't swear to that.
