    HELP!!! Leg issues...

    I have 16 baby chicks that are in a "brooder" in my basement. One of the chicks that was previously fine has just started "limping". It doesn't put weight on one of it's legs and keeps stretching it's leg and it's wing out. They are on medicated mash and I have been putting vitamins in their...

    Wooohoooo! I want to thank EVERYONE on BYC for all of the info and support. We're winding down our very first hatch EVER and we've had 16 out of 20 eggs hatch! I am officially a hatching addict!

    rowdy first chick!

    My first chick of 20 has hatched! The problem is that he's playing soccer with the remaining 19 eggs, five of which have already pipped! Is there anything I can do at this point? I know next time I'll use egg cartons, but it's a little late for this hatch... Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    wiggle, no wiggle, wiggle, no wiggle...

    I have 20 eggs in lockdown and I'm paranoid. On day 18 they were wiggling like crazy, now today on day 20 they're not wiggling at all!!! I've read horror stories about chicks being fully grown and then dying before they hatch. Temp is 99-100 and humidity has been between 70%-74%. Ugh.

    Help! On day 9 we lost power and I had to make an emergency run with the bator to my workplace in order to plug it in. I placed the eggs in egg cartons inside the bator and drove like a mad woman. The next morning I brought them home. I've candled a few of them today on day 15 and there are...

    remove chicks after fluff or wait until they have all hatched?

    This is my first hatch and I am absolutely clueless. We're not "due" until the end of the month. I know I need to "lock down" the 'bator on day 18. My question, though, is if I'm supposed to remove the chicks after they've fluffed if the rest of them haven't hatched yet, or do I wait until...
