So i was the smart one that decided at 24 days incubation that i was going to open an egg because i just knew my chicken wasn't going to hatch. I didn't see any movement when candling, and the water float test very definitely indicated that my chicken was dead. So to try to learn what i could...

Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and ways to help her. Sadly she passed away a few moments ago. Now i need to make sure the others in the flock are well.

You are so kind. I'm gonna run to tsc today!

We got her legs in a homemade brace and she is definitely standing better now. However through the night...

So i am super new to chickens. Although i thoroughly researched them before making the plunge, picking the breeds, and welcoming them home i have a ton of questions. I just received 17 chicks via usps yesterday (04/24/19) and just adore their little peeps.
