    please - need some advice - 2 day old chick can't stand or walk!

    Thanks for the support guys! I appreciate it. Should I make the space between the legs smaller? that was hard to gauge because this chick is larger/heavier than the one in the pictures on the "band-aid guide".

    18 out of 20 (mixed home raised) chicks hatched. 17 out of the 18 are healthy and fine. One chick I thought had splayed leg problems - so I braced/hobbled according to pic by pic directions- 2 days ago. Still no change. Hydrating with sugar water several times per day. (just to be certain, as...

    I truly don't have a number for the humidity - It's a hova bator still air model with 2 windows and a square heating element. Air temp we keep as tight as possible to 100. (digital therm that doesn't do .5 degrees - only whole numbers) So for humidity, on the last 3 days I keep ALL the water...

    Having trouble maintaining constant temp in our bator....

    Our mixed group of eggs are due to hatch the 27th of this month. Having a bit of difficulty with keeping the temp steady... using a digital thermometer than been proven effective. Temp usually is 100 - 100.5. Sometimes however, for unknown reasons lately it elevates to 104! yikes... don't want...
