One of my mutts... I think he's quite beautiful.

One of my chicks has been laying down all day and doesn't seem to have much energy when it does walk. When the chicks drops it head water pours out of its mouth, but it keeps drinking like it can't get enough. It was 107 here yesterday but its only 96 so far. The crop is huge a swollen with...

Amusing! My chicks all come running when I call out "chick, chick, CHICKS!" They roam in our front yard and come running when they see my car pull up in the drive to greet me. NO ONE can convince me that chickens don't care about their "mommy".

Quote: There can't be a worse one - she's a winner! Im not even posting mine after seeing that one. There is no chance! My thoughts exactly!

Quote: I remove as many rows as needed from my turner. Put up a divider and let the hatching begin! You'll need to make sure the divider is high enough to stop the chicks from going over but clear of any of the warmer parts/fan on the lid of the incubator. Once everyone is done hatching clean...

Looks good to me!! Good luck!

So I wrapped its leg after my initial post and now that leg seems fine and the other is red right at the joint (almost like internal bleeding) and the foot is starting to swell. Still drinking water like a champ, but just laying there. It wiggles over to the water using its wings to crawl...

Quote: I don't have any but I will definitely run out and get some. Any idea how much I should give and how often?

Quote: I didn't see anything wrapped around it, and it's wet in the picture because I was running cool water over it's leg. This chick was a very VERY sticky chick when it hatched and had to be assisted out of the shell and cleaned off because it kept sticking to the bottom of the bator. Right...

The chick can't walk at all anymore and is just laying flat. When I hold it up its feet turn outwards, and the 'injured' one is almost turned completely out.

Quote: I did that and I could find no noticeable differences.

I set eggs on 9/15 so we're hatching buddies!!!

Okay I have a 2 day old sticky chick that has a swollen foot. It was fine yesterday and today its foot is swollen and hot none of the other chicks have this. What could it be? I don't see a scab so I don't think it's bumble foot. ** Chick is three days old now, and I've wrapped it's legs but...

Awesome thank you! I have some chicks that have been hatching since Tuesday (the last one hatched sometime during the night) and I was trying to determine which roo fathered which chick.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the following traits are dominant or recessive: feathered legs Bantam size naked necks Millie Fleur D'Uccle coloring Thanks for your help!

So I have a question about shrink wrapping what causes it? I have 3 eggs that didn't hatch and I'm wondering if it is because my DH opened the incubator. The eggs did not have pips in them but when I did the eggtopsy I noticed that one of the chicks had internally pipped. The other two had...

Quote: The best! I came by mine when my bird dog killed their wild/game hen mom, and they are the sweetest most amazing birds. I've actually started my first batch of eggs and they started hatching yesterday 16 and counting! I'm already so in love with them!!

I've got eggs hatching now on day 20. And I've had eggs hatch on day 24. So it's up to you, but if I were you I'd have someone you can trust come over and keep an eye on things.
