we both figures it would. It was a mirocle the other 3 survived. Mama was pecking them out of shell so she had to hatch them under a heat lamp (no bator) I think this one was first to be pecked at too. Poor babies. But 3/4 in an emergency hatch... Not bad
my friend sent me this. Her broody hen started pecking chicks out of shells and she didn't have an incubator so she put all the eggs under the heat lamp with wet towels surrounding them. All 4 hatched but this one is doing bad. It was still halfway in the shell last night. It detached today and...

I have completely cured my GLW of aggression. Every time he came at me I would smack his wing and then hold him down on his side until he stopped struggling. Then saint about 60 seconds with him completely still and let him up. I did this every time he came at me for a few months. Now I can...
Not sure if I will be getting anymore for right now. I might see what kind of damage these 2 do since i dont have a ton of land. But definitely let me know when they are ready and I'll decide then! But by all means dont hold any for me since I'm not sure lol
@DMRippy i finally stopped losing keets. Still dont know what caused it. Nothing apparent. Good food, clean water, no other birds or animals around them. Idk what the deal was. The only thing I can guess was something genetic or from the farm they came from. But I wanted to give you an update...
