I'm so excited to see more chicks hatch this weekend! It's so fun to see!!!
Joneus, really? The size of a golf ball? I may have to hatch some bantams, just to see that. I can't believe they're so tiny!!
Yes!!! Well- more like golf balls with legs, LOL! The brick you see in the picture is about 1/3 of a full brick, if that helps with scale. I am amazed every time I look at them- they're so unbelievably tiny!!!
My chickens will be two weeks old this weekend, and they're starting to enter that horribly ugly/gawky stage.
Hulksmash isn't doing so well. I took off her hobble yesterday. She'd been wearing it 8 days, with no improvement. It kept it from looking too awful when on, but when I take it off, her leg really flops out there. She was so miserable with it on though, and since there wasn't improvement, I wasn't sure if it was worth continuing treatment. Then again, as I've watched her without it, she's not walking around much anyway, so maybe she would be better off with it on, even if it's not permanently improving anything. I don't know.
I'm so sorry. Poor chickie! I'd leave it on, FWIW. At least, with it on, she's able to walk around, right? I hope she gets better!!
