Pic 4: Isn't this the same chick as Pic 1?
I have some sad news...last night chick #2 sadly died. 😭 😭
Also, I'm going to send a picture later today of chick #1. He is not well enough to eat the chick crumbles. What should I feed him? He lifts his left leg up like he can't walk on it. I don't think that is what spraddle leg is...
I was wondering if anyone has any homemade (DIY) "recipe" for Nutri-Drench. Here is a screenshot of the ingredients of Nutri-Drench:
I need some Nutri-Drench. But I'm hoping I can just make some at home... I have 2 chicks who have curly toes AND splayed legs!! Help needed!!
Ok, so mid-day yesterday I put a safety hole in the egg (#3). Last night I candled and saw no progress for the chick. I opened it up more and saw the beak the chick was lifeless. When I candled egg #3 prior to this (beginning of post) I thought I saw the chick moving in the egg. (#3) I found out...

So I set 12 eggs on 4/12 (23 days ago). Temperature throughout incubation: 37.7 Celcius (99.8 Farenheight). 10 eggs went into lock-down 4/30 (day 18). 4 chicks hatched on day 21. 3 chicks hatched on day 22. On day 22 egg #9 pipped then died. 😭😭! Two eggs are still in the incubator [today-5/5]...
Yes thank you! I am just trying to come up with a solution (replenishing layer flocks without having to buy more chicks). I think I will just stick to White Leghorns, Golden Comets, etc. Thank you!!!
So my question is if I buy 50 Red sex-link chicks, (pullets) and then I breed them to a Red sex-link rooster. Will the chicks have the same egg-laying abilities as the hens? I realize that Red sex-links will not breed true. (because they are hybrids) I also know that to breed Red sex-links...
