I had a chick hatch during the night and went out to check on it this morning I notice that it looks like feathers are starting to come in on it wings! It took my other two chicks days to start getting feathers in! I had a batch of eggs due last week and this week and I was just wondering if an...
CaliBlueChicken,
Sorry I haven't written you back, I have had problems with my interent staying connected! The early hatch chick is doing great!! Tomorrow it will be a week old! It is so little compaired to the other chicks but that could just be the breed too! I had my 5th egg hatch last...

Found this post by accident but I am sure glad I did! I give my gal's lots of chilled fruits and veggies but never thought about frozen treats!! Now I need to rummage through my fridge and freezers to see what I can find!!
Baby#1 and baby#3. It's going great!! Still a little wobbly but that is to be expected! Baby#1 is missing Momma Moe tonight! I hope these other eggs hatch earlier than what I had anticipated the due date was so I can give them back to the Momma!
Lisa,
The chick passed this morning! I made the mistake of leaving it in with the Momma! I am assuming that after it tucked under her to sleep for the night between the weight of her and the other eggs in the way the poor thing cold not get it self out! I found it this morning under her and...
Ok, I have another question. Went out to check on my Momma Moe and her eggs. She was pecking around in her box and fixing it like she does several times a day but she hit one of her eggs! She cracked it so she started peeking at it. I finally stuck my hand in and removed them egg and it was...
Went to check on my hen, 1 chick and eggs. I saw you was looking at an egg so I looked closer. The egg had been cracked some how so, the first thing I though of was you have to help this chick out!! So my husband peeled off the egg shell and he took it in put it into a brooder box. But I started...
CaliBlueChicken,
I went out and checked on my injured chick them am to find it in bad shape. I brought it in the house and put in in my brooder box to see what it did, poor thing just laid there. After I while I picked it up and decided to put it down. Went to go get my husband, because there...
So far Moe is taking care of her chick and sitting. If it looks like she is going be out of the nest to much I am going to take the baby! My girls will be happy to have a chick in the house!! Plus I am not real confindent in the incubator I got given to me with the chickens so I hate to use it...
Oven Ready...your post just showed up!! I think I am going to keep watching her she is she can manage the chick and her eggs. If not I have a box ready to put it in. I was wondering ifI took the chick if night would be better then the day! I figured that when I try to put the chick back in a few...
Lisa,
I know that I can take care of the chick and it can survive with out its Momma! But the eggs won't hatch with out her sitting on them! I have a styrofoam Hova Bator, I basically know how to do it. But I am new at this whole chicken thing. My chickens got gave to me when a family member...
