Thanks guys.... Yes, they have the same parents as that hen. I'm not sure what kind they are, but I'll bet Meredith is right.

Today, I went into the bator to take the chicks body out and bury him in the yard. When I did, his belly burst and infected fluid poured out. I could tell by the horrible smell. This little bird had a bad infection. I don't think it was possible for anyone to save him. That made me feel a...

yeah..the chirping is totally normal right before they hatch...because now their beaks are in the air cell, breathing air for the first time and now they can chirp!! the chirping is not only normal, its GOOD....nothing to worry about you DONT TURN at this point...its not needed anymore, and...

TheTropix, you're more of an expert than me. I appreciate your help, and everyone who chimed in. I'm sorry to say the little guy died during the day today. I got him cleaned up, put some bacitracin ointment on his belly without pain killer in it, and gave him some electrolytes, but he just...

I got his leg, wing, head, etc etc all free....poor little guy, it seemed like every part of his body was stuck to every other part. I feel horrible I waited so long to free him, but i was just afraid of what would happen if I intervened too quickly. These are the latest pictures: He...

Thank you! Here is the latest picture: I freed him from the shell, and I believe most of the membrane....he was definitely stuck! It took me about 20 minutes to get this far, and I felt like he was getting too wet and cold, so I put him back in the incubator for now. His head and...

Thanks for your reply!! I really appreciate your help. I just got in contact with wildriverswolf90, who helped me out last year when I had my first hatch. She advised me to wrap him in a warm, wet paper towel (all except his head), which I have done. In the next hour or two, I am going to...

I will try to be as brief as possible so I can get this message posted and hope for a response. I just hatched some chicks (this was only my 2nd hatch). I have never experienced any complications...either the eggs hatched or they didn't...until now. This little chick pipped on Tuesday...

Awesome....just sent it!

Meredith, I was just catching up on the messages and read about how you got hurt. Attention everyone: I have dropped off baby chicks at Meredith's place and that tree house is HIGH in the tree, I would guess about 15 or 20 feet. She is like Batman!! Even he gets hurt and has to stitch...

Thanks, Jenn for your kind offer....I found them a home right here in North Carolina....Meredith (Wildriverswolf90) took all 4 of them last night and they are all doing great...she has provided updates in the North Carolina thread....thanks again everyone for your help. Tom

Update: Wildriverswolf90 agreed to adopt all 4 chicks and they were safely delivered this evening. This story had a happy ending. There are more updates in the "Where am I? Where are you?" North Carolina thread. Thanks again to all of you. Tom

Meredith, That's great news....they didn't have any trouble adjusting to their new home. I'm so relieved to know they are happy and you are taking such good care of them. Thank you again. Please give us more updates when you have them! This site and the people on it really are amazing...
