My new chick may have this...pretty sure...what do I do? Please help?

Out of 8 ebay eggs, 3 silkies hatched! They were born yesterday! Peanut, Butter and Jelly! Peanut was born first, he/she is grey, has a domed head... but has something wrong with the left leg. It's not spraddle, think it may be achilles tendon out of place (or something like that) My DH...

I was reading some threads and noticed that some of you recommend that paper towels be placed over the wood shavings in the brooder when the chicks are first placed in there after hatching. Is this something I should do?

It's not cold yet here in Virginia and I'm not sure when it'll start getting cold...but how cold is too cold to put new chicks outside...and how old do they have to be to put them out?

Hi everyone! I candled all of my eggs yesterday and I saw dark spots and air sacs! I am so excited! I hope those are signs that chickens are forming!!! I posted the pics on my website if anyone is interested: www.theteenytinyfarm.com on the "adopt a silkie" page For those of you who visit...

I am new to incubating chickens and feel that I should not open the incubator during their time in there. I have been looking for an egg turner on ebay and other sites, but they are so expensive. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm hoping that someone has either one they don't need or...
