    Half hatched chick....not walking yet?

    Thank you, I haven't put her back in the brooder yet, she's in the house with me, when she's not in a wee box with a hot water bottle she's snuggling with me, is that ok, have you ever done this before? I just think she's still too weak and won't do well with the others!

For the first day I kept them in a small coop with a small run but today I've allowed them to roam about a pen approx 15'x15' and I've noticed that the Minorca is...
