I lost my special little chick... he lasted about 2 1/2 day, but that's ok... he was only about half the size of the others by then....
So here's some pics of my four that I took today. :)
And yes... her feet and beak are a weird green color... O.o
She's part silkie (extra toes!)...
haha, my silkie keeps doing that on my little one that has the straddle leg. but she is just a chick, and gets distracted and goes off to eat often. lol.
though she's two days old. :)
I started out that I was going to put boots on the little guy, but when it wasn't kicking, it's toes were all ((( like this... ))) around the body, but as I straightened the legs, the toes went like that... when the chick kicks out they do go back to being \|/ so I think when it's walking...
So my slow little guy lived through the night in the brooder with the rest... Though now that he's um... moving... I think we have a new problem...
He kind of scoots and scuttles around... how do I 'fix' this? is there a way to do so? If I just leave him be, will he figure it out and...
So an update on my little chick that wasn't standing... It took like, five hours after it hatched, and I had been dipping her beak into brown sugar water to help her perk up.... she's up and walking around, and then laying down and sleeping... not strong enough to be in the brooder yet, but I'm...
I dunno, it's hard to say exactly... some of my chicks are pink skinned, some are part silkie, so are part black.... so I can't tell if this is normal or not... there's fuzz on the bum, now that it's drying more... so I just don't know. :/ I'm just keeping her i the bator for now... she was the...
So my strange little guy finally hatched a few hours ago... but most of my chicks within an hour of being hatched are up and walking around the bator.... (or the grey one, who hatched, rolled over, and walked away... xD) but this little chick just kind of lays there on his side... I've been...
really confused...
the egg that pipped last night... it seemed fine, and still hasn't hatched... went to check it, and candled to see where the air sack is (going through the side and all....) but there's something moving in there too.. O.o. I can see the beak.... I'm not sure if it stuck it's...
I never got sick with my son... but I was sick enough with morning sickness that I was miserable anyway....
I am trying to take care of myself (and my six year old... he's got it too) but my biggest issue is the lack of humidity in the house. lol. I need like, 10 humidifiers. xD
Oh my goodness... my silly little silver chick won't let me pet the other chicks! I put my hand in to pet the other chicks, and she runs over and pushes her way between my hand and the other chic, so I'm petting her instead. XD
My silkie is funny... she doesn't like to stand up, and just moves...
