    Well I'm sad to say I came home to a very struggling baby. Not quite sure what happened but little splits struggled for a few hours and then it just died. I'm just glad the little one isn't suffering any longer.. My little blind one (wonder) is just thriving!! The other one (spins) is walking on...

    I'm going to keep the 3 special needs together and document their growth and how I am able to get them to thrive! I'm in love. They all hear my voice and are ready to get to me. I hold them and they just sleep in my hand can't wait tonsee what they grow into!

    Update! I now have 3 walking drinking earring babies! The other one I decided you splint and overnight she is up! (Or he) I'm hand feeding and watering the blind one... I can't give up on it. The straight legged one is called splay legged too i guess. Still falling over but handling business!

    Well I more for certain there is only one eye but the one eye opens at least partially it just doesn't seem like it opens enough to see which makes me nervous about it drowning in the water dish Also concerned about the same thing with the other spraddled leg chick. Should I make them a special area

If the chick is sick could the other chicks in the incubator have It? I don't want to put them in with my other chicks that...
