    Good job! You gotta do what you gotta do. Sorry about your girls. Bet you were just heart broken.

    I would hold him & pet him as much as possible. We like to call it rooster training. It's not full proof tho. I have a 5- yo son.....and eventually everyone of my Roos has gone after him. Have one on death row now. When we are busy, our rooster training gets left behind. It does help, tho.

    Hi, and welcome new people here!! I've been a slacker lately due to life & chickens! Same thing, right! Today, I'm home with a sick child, so I thought I'd catch up a little. I live in gt falls. I have 11 hens & 1 rooster(soon to be 0). Lol. I hatched out mixed breed eggs this spring from my...

    Here are my babies. I had 10 healthy.....gave 3 to a friend. Then I got 3 more from north 40. So, still 10 little fluffy cuties.

    Ok, I have to say this is the 1st time I have ever hatched eggs......and I can totally understand the addicting nature if it! However, I just don't have space to add more birds. ....so....I so appreciate all you people showing your cuties & stories (good & bad)...... So I can still get my...

    Sorry to hear it! I had 2 out of 12 that didn't make it. I cried a lot that day. Kind of heartbreaking......especially after doing all that work to get out of that egg. My 13 yo daughter said.....mom, I wished she wouldn't even have hatched. Would have been easier, but oh well. Enjoy your 2...

    I had some hatch day 21, 22, 23, & 24.....and my incubator is a LG with fan & turner. I think (& sincerely hope) that they are just a day or 2 behind. I also had a few eggs from my girls that are less than a year old that hatched and are doing well still this week. I week old. Last weekend was a...

    new chick w/leg prob. Splayed leg or slipped Achilles ten Don't?

    I just wanted to say thank everyone. You were all helpful! I did end up culling my chick. I tried pretty much every suggestion. I was also reading & diagnosing what the issue was. I don't think he was ever going to walk....based on what I saw & what I read. It was extremely difficult, and I had...

    new chick w/leg prob. Splayed leg or slipped Achilles ten Don't?

    It cannot stand up at all. It kind of wants to. Thought we'd take the brace off tonight just to see & then we can put it back on. It's legs don't really go out to the side. Just stay basically folded forward. I have been holding it standing a little.....kind of like I read "physical therapy"

    Here are some pics of this chick & some of it's hatch mates. It was the last to hatch yesterday early morning. It's legs pretty much stay in the same position without the braces, too. We were just trying this.

    Thanks, both of you! It was the same this morning when I left for work. I have been giving her sips of water. I will take a pic this eve so you can see. She/he is the cutest one of all of them! The others are all running around. Grandma is going to go by today & give her a few sips, too. I...

    I think so, too. Mine looked different during candling, too. And there was a span of hatching for 2 days. Not all hatched, which is pretty normal. I got 12 chicks, but I think the last one maybe has the Achilles tendon thing going on. I thought it was splayed leg, but the more I read I think...

    new chick w/leg prob. Splayed leg or slipped Achilles ten Don't?

    Early this morning, my last chick hatched. It has been kind of crawling around on it's "knees" and balancing on it's wings like hands. It's feet are pointing forwards & sometimes they are even over it's wing tips. I don't really know what to do with it. At 1st, we thought it was splayed leg. I...

    Boy, good job keeping your babies warm! I have 11 babies that have hatched over the last few days. One is unzipped & resting now. Hopefully it gets out ok. I have 7 more that have been looking good this whole time, but I'm beginning to wonder about. Will be day 24 starting at noon. Will...

    Yes! So worth it! Yay, now maybe you can catch up on your sleep, right? This is so fun, to hatch along with other people. I have an egg rocking, and 1 with the external pip, I think. Cracked. I noticed one of my gold sex link eggs is cracked, but I don't think that chick is quite ready to take...

    Yep, I was up late too. Had a leghorn/polish cross hatch last night 1140. I set a timer for 2 hrs to sleep. Had a Americana polish mix /w hole in the shell. I've learned that those shells are thick & it takes them a long time to get out. After a few rounds of sleep with the timer, I noticed the...

    Love those pics Crazyfeathers! Love seeing everyone's story with their eggs, too. Today is day 20 for mine. I have 4 hatched & 2 internal pips. I am doubting if one will hatch over the next several hours. Hoping there is more pipping going on tomorrow. I have 19 eggs left, and I'm fairly...

    Good morning! My 1st one hatched too!!! I think it is silver laced Wyandotte mixed with a buff laced polish. If I can figure out how to post a time lapse video of it, I will..... Have to go to work soon, too. If I don't get it on here, I will later.
