I have also read that you can use pipe cleaners on their feet/ legs to help them. Its kinda cute to see such love for such a small little gal. I have a hen that had crooked toes after a few days of bringing her home from TSC. I read it was from too much or not enough humidity in the incubator...

Have you found anything out? I have a chicken with the same issue. I dont think she is egg bound.

So sorry for your loss, I agree with the others don't let it detour you from starting over. it takes time and when your ready it will be easier. Its just hard for you right now. I worry about the same thing, I leave my light on 24/7 because I am in michigan. I can't wait for the weather to...
