    The newest chick is eating and drinking, but does have what I hope is a only a slight problem. It's left leg seems weak and it is favoring it's right leg. It does use it, but also holds it up a lot, off to one side slightly, not splayed out. I am reluctant to put it with the others yet, so...

    Today, the little chick passed, not long after my first application of Vetericyn. If I ever see this again, at least I can start sooner, although it seems it is rare for a chick to make it. The good news after is that a chick that pipped below the middle of the egg hatched, still had a small...

    Malpositioned chick has pipped wrong end - Please Help!

    Hi, I just had 8 chicks hatch, one came out with it's yolk sac still attached. The other chicks didn't seem to peck at it, so I left them alone in the incubator. On day 2 I removed the chicks that had hatched first and left in 3 that still needed a little drying out (including the one that had...
