    Is my baby chick sick or just sleepy??

    How is your little one doing?

    I dropped my chick ‍♀️

    That's the worst feeling, but she's likely ok! Just keep a close eye on her and don't beat yourself up about it! I'm sure many of us have had a chick jump out of our grip before we could catch them! :)

    Chicken died while brooding.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I realize it was a few years ago now. This just happened to us on the night of day 16. Our light Brahma was also our favorite and I had noticed she stopped eating a few days before despite taking her out off the nest. She was so lethargic and then stopped...

    Broody died on night of day 16... emergency incubating

    Thank you!! I was an overly attentive mama to my broody. I had a wifi camera set up and any time she got up I'd bee tail it outside to her to let her go out into the yard and if I felt she wasn't getting up enough I'd get her up and bring her out to the yard. The last few days I could tell...

    Broody died on night of day 16... emergency incubating

    This was so helpful to see! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom to those of us who are still trying to figure all of this stuff out! I did candle last night and the last egg did not make it. I suspected so as I haven't heard any chirping or seen any moving from it. But I...

    I would greatly appreciate seeing those.. I want to know what to look for so I don't keep second guessing and keep the 'bater running for no reason. Plus I'm worried it will blow up ... and it's sitting in my office. Don't want a stink bomb in here. HA

    Oh wow! That was helpful! Thank you for sharing! Ok... I'll candle tonight when it's dark. I haven't seen or heard any Pipping so I'm assuming it's safe and won't hurt it if it IS still alive. I'm kind of scared of seeing it not alive. :barnie

    Even though we miss our Princess Moo shoo... we are loving on these babies! <3 I sure hope the 3rd egg makes it, but I'm thankful there are at least 2 so they can keep each other company. I can't believe how tiny they are! Our other chicks were not this small.

    I chickened out on the water test. Tapped on the shell and didn't hear anything but put a wet sponge in the incubator and put the egg back in and will wait it out a few more days. Thanks for the input on the water test! Any other suggestions while we wait? :)

    Thank you all for your responses and helpful guidance! Two of the 3 eggs hatched today! They are adorable and seem to be healthy! I'm not sure if the 3rd is still viable. I thought I heard egg cracking noise off and on today but haven't seen a PIP so not sure. I'm going to move the 2...
