    Stuck chick out - hmmm?

    Hi - thanks to all who talked me through "helping" my stuck chick out - he's peeping like crazy - 3.5 hrs later. I had to isolate him in a plastic dish with papertowel in it to keep the others from jumping on him in the bator. Because of the position he was in for 48 hours - on his back, head...

    First chick out - terrorizing the rest of the lovies...

    yes - still a newbie - my first born (Dorking) is now fluffing out nicely, but terrorizing all the new chicks as them come out... pecking, jumping on them, etc. Although he's only 10 hours old, i'm thinking he needs to go into bad birdy lock down? I guess i wait for the 24 hrs, do the steamy...

    Hi First Timer Here - My hatch is underway, and I have a very LOUD & WILD chick as my first "outer". He is in there crashing about rolling over the other nearby eggs, so I'm somewhat worried about the other "kids" getting disoriented because they are now not "right side up". Chick on the...
