Nova is soo cute! And that is such a sweet story;)

That is a good way, but I couldn't do it. I'm not sure why because its just as humane as the other way.

It's ok, I know it was for the best.

Everyone has been asking 'how do you peacefully, humanely put chicks out of their misery?'. Well today I found out. One of very 3 day old vorwerk chicks had severe slipped Achilles' tendons in BOTH legs, and badly curled toes. He had an abscess on his neck and couldn't get anywhere to eat or...

One of the chicks has been in the incubator all day, as he can't walk. He's fluffy and dried out, but sleeps a lot and doesn't walk, is there something wrong?

He is now in the brooder as the yolk has absorbed. However, another one hasn't absorbed the yolk and is still in the incubator, should I put it on a paper towel?

One of my nine eggs pipped today, and it was at the wrong end of the egg. I made a little hole in the membrane so he could breath, and everything was fine. I went out for a while and when I had got back, nothing had changed, but he wasn't peeping anymore. I made the hole a little bigger and...

I've done that, but I can't find his beak!

Ok thank you, can he breath?

You shouldn't have them in cartons whilst hatching, because they need to be able to roll around

He's pipping at the small end of the egg! What should I do? Do I help him?

Ok thank you!

Couldn't get any good pictures sorry, and the fourth one is black with little bits of gold around her neck
