I put some of that Blu-Kote on it using my finger to dab it on. They look less swollen today and actually looks like the blisters have dried up. I really think that one chick pinched the others.

One tetra tint pullet, five white plymouth rock pullets, seven little mixed fuzzballs, and three silkies.

Good to hear. I use blue kote too and usually have purple on me somewhere but you have to be very careful around the face so I don't usually tell people to use it when theres an injury there. But glad to hear they are looking better. Are they all the same breed. Do you have any idea why the one chick would do this?

I love all the pictures!  So cute and sweet!

My family and I live on a small hobby farm in western North Carolina in Lincoln County. My wonderful husband married me in November of 2011 and I got a daughter out of the deal which not only made me a new wife but an instant mom. We have 2 dogs (Kaluha and Jake), 2 Tennessee Walkers (Rebel and Ginger), 2 Fainting goats (Charlie and Willy) and a growing flock of chickens and peafowl.

OK, I have a question and I am a first timer with hatching.  I have a broody that is on 6 eggs and they should start hatching this Friday.  I candled last night and everyone is looking good.  One of the eggs though has the air cell to the side instead of at the big end of the egg.  Will the hen handle it and turn it right? Can that air cell even move to the right place as it is?  Can it still successfully hatch out with the air cell over on the side?  I imagine it can but it's chances are significantly less but I don't know. Sorry for all the questions but ya'll are just too smart and readily available!! smile.png
