    Weak chick

    If you read my postings yesterday, you can see that I assisted a chick hatch, partially. I saw blood and stopped. I wrapped her and her shell in a warm wet cloth and left her in the incubator, today she was more active, pushing on the shell and chirping, so I opened the bator and wet her eyes...

    Hatch question

    I should also add that last week, one of the Windows on the top of the bator fell out when I placed lid down to candle before lockdown, so the temp got down to 93 for about 14 hours. I am thinking this could cause some late hatchers.

    Chick with leg problem

    Hello! I just hatched 3 baby chicks. They are a day old. 2 of them are running all over the place, but 1 is very flat? It appears that her right leg goes out, like it isn't under her, so she can walk. She will stand with the other, but can't get around, and just kind of stays in 1 spot. And clue...
