Chirping
We had a little excitement this morning when we found this critter.
This is the first time I've given a broody girl eggs to sit on. I usually don't give into them, but she was hell bent! When i went to check on the progress of the hatch this morning i pulled out a new fbcm chick with THREE kicking legs and nearly dropped it
!
My question is; how common is this and will this chick make it and have a life of "normalcy"? Or is euthanasia the ethical answer here? It is walking fine for now with the 2 dominant legs. Umbilical was a little bloody but a quick dap of cornstarch solved that.
Yikes! Help
