just hatched

First time using incubator on some large eggs the hen abandoned. Chick just hatched today - this one has noticeably bigger feet than the other one that hatched. They’re also curled slightly inward toward each other?? Is this normal/variable or is this a deformity?

This chick hatched yesterday, the white wast matter and a growth looking thing are still attached to it. I'm a little worried cause this guy hatched 2days late and I've heard that the yoke sometimes doesn't get absorbed all the way when that happens and the chick can die up to 2 weeks after that...

Hi everyone! we just hatched a silkie chick who we could see in the incubator was having a tough time, we didn't know the extent of it until we pulled him/her out. Now I have her in her own area as she was getting ran over. It seems like one of her legs didn't set right/ isn't placed correctly...

Our first (and early) chick just hatched but it looks like it may have a prolapse? Any one know what this is? Is there anything I need to or can do for it?

I have a newly hatched turkey chick who seems to have weak neck muscles.**** A little backstory...When checking the nests yesterday I discovered an egg that had been smashed. Membrane was still intact but most of the shell was cracked or missing. I knew it was close to hatching date and it was...

We had an easter egger x chick hatch yesterday (under a broody hen) with a bump on its head. Picture below. Also working on a video. Last night it looked like a bump on the skin, not an open wound. I've seen chicks pecked on the head and it didn't look like that either. I put a natural cream...

just glad to be out of that shell ready to rule the world

Hello! I’m a new chicken mom, and I we had two successful hatches. Alas, the third had a dried membrane and ended up being somewhat of an assisted hatch (it pushed itself out at the end but we had to wet the membrane). It’s been 2 hours since it’s out but it cannot stay on its back. I’m too...

I hatched my first keets yesterday, out of a mix of parents, which include: Pearl Royal Purple Blonde Pied Lavender I think the keets are mostly royal purple, but any help on them would be much appreciated!

somethings wrong with one of my chicks, it was the last one to hatch about 2-4 days after everyone else, It’s quite clumsy and has something wrong with its head, it keeps trying stand up y’all but then falls, but I’m more concerned about it’s head, it also keeps falling over onto its back and...

we had 9 eggs hatching, everything went ok but one chick seems a little smaller than the others and one of his eyes are closed is he/she ok ( sorry about the blurry photos he/she wouldn’t sit still)

:DFirst of all I want to say that I’m SO PROUD of my hen, Little Yellow, for hatching these chicks. I check on her every night to see how she is doing and saw no chicks, this morning however there was chicks!!! :jumpy What should I do next? She hasn’t gotten out of her nest which is above the...

Hi all! I just got my flock of 5 (one sadly didn’t make the journey) at around 1:00 central time! I’m so happy to have these little joys! And interestingly enough, I’ve found out they are all DIFFERENT. I have 2 barred Plymouth Rock and 3 buff orpingtons. The Buffs are chill. The barred rock are...

Hi everyone! So, my incubated eggs just hatched! Super exciting, because I haven't had chickens in a few years now! :wee Also, it's my first time incubating, usually just have a reliable broody! 8 babies - no idea what breeds. One is a bantam, smaller, fuzzy legs, extra toes. The last two...
