    Severe wry neck, curly toe and splay leg. Urgent

    Was a day 24 hatch, sleep deprivation is hitting me at this point trying to keep watch on it. I’ve done some of the suggestions here but it’s not a fan of the wet chick mash. I have plain Greek yogurt and I think I’ve just seen plain yogurt not Greek recommended so I don’t want to be wrong...

    Extended rest - wwyd

    IF they went out yesterday the USPS calculator said Thursday. I’ve been left on read for 14 hours this point, not that I expect a response in the middle of the night. The ones that arrived yesterday originally said Weds then got updated to Thurs and were here Monday so the other ones could...

    Extended rest - wwyd

    I'm at a loss here. Everything I've read, researched and seen has said we're going to be ok with a delay... but... I can't help but feel that bit of panic. So I guess are we going to be ok? And when's the absolute latest you'd set the eggs in the incubator? I have eggs that arrived today and...

    5 week old chicks and brooder plate question

    Honestly I would remove since they're too big to all fit. With my weather I would be keeping an eye to make sure they're not getting too cold since it's super unpredictable here but with full feather you are good!

    Should there be some kind of oversight required?

    They said it's common right now and they're all unhappy with it. They can't force people and I don't want to think about how many chicks are dying because of this. You can do everything perfect and have loss.. It's part of raising animals but stuff like this doesn't have to happen.

    5/6 chicks fell over and died after eating and drinking?

    Oh I am so sorry. Big hugs. If nothing else changed in the routine, shock could be the culprit. Hoping the survivor hangs tough!

    Should there be some kind of oversight required?

    It's a hard one for me to ask because I feel like we should be more free but after earlier I've been wondering. We were in town picking up a few things and I caught an exchange with someone in a full on B* fit over dead chicks that were garage kept with no brooder setup so they died overnight...
