Some people will give a drop of Nutri Drench to weak chicks. I've done that with chicken chicks and ducklings and it does seem to perk them up a bit.

I'd be hesitant about bringing home anything that's been anywhere but a brooder. Chicken or Turkey would be my choice, but only if their feet had never touched the ground.Read this:Thanks for the advice! Little pea is doing splendidly now. SO happy. But it doesn't look like the other eggs are going to do anything. I'm thinking about running to the store to get him a buddy. What's my best choice? A Guinea, Duck, Chicken or Turkey? I should still be able to get most of these from the local farm store.
I know that Chickens and Turkeys can transfer diseases to Peas, but he is very lonely!
Thanks,
Heidi
Congrats on the one and hope all goes well for you! I have a bunch at day 24, so nothing for me here tonight.Hatch day here today will be a long,drawn out one I suspect. I've got 3 IB eggs all butt end pipping. But my first 2014 Bronze chick is out and fluffing. Two BSSP eggs pipped with 4 more bssp to yet crack the shell. I've got 2 eggs that were fertile from my big 2year old group,one is pipped now but looks very dark color wise.Maybe a bronze but it's a "who's ur daddy" guess either the white or peach.
We use Dickey and Leahy incubators to incubate the eggs and GQFs for hatchers.
4 years ago we hatched around 125 Peachicks, we don't hatch that many any more because the Peafowl market is pretty flooded and hard to sell them so we have cut back to about 50 peachicks a year now which is plenty with the price feed the way it is now.
Good Luck with your hatching.

I wouldn'tWould any of you ever get hatching eggs off ebay??? I don't have many choices where I live. Ordering online seems to be my only choice really.
