    1 Week Old Chick With Crooked Leg

    We have a Polish that came out of its shell with what we thought was a hurt leg. He never uses it. After he dried off, we got a good look at it. It is actually crooked. It turns out to the side. While he was still flexible we tried to tape it so that it stayed straight. It didn't help...

    WooHoo!! I hear peeps!!!!

    Broody Hen?

    Vitamins and Electrolytes???

    I am on day 9 of my first hatch. One of my friends has said that when the chicks hatch, we have to give them vitamin and electrolytes in their water. I have not seen any mention of them on this website. Just wondering what people thought...are these really necessary?

    New to incubating!!!
