Hello. I'm Mike from Berkley MA. Welcome.

Berkley mass here. We have a bit of everything. Swedish flower, Cochin, Sumatra, sultan, Polish, spitzhauben, and so on, then ducks and turkeys too. We have Narraganset and red bourbon. Very proud of our turkeys. Would have just done them if I had know before I got so many chickens. Love to hear...

Ok that's all the pics I have. What do you think?

Having trouble uploading images. Give me a minute....

My parents went to Costa Rica for a few weeks this winter and took pics of come chickens and some geese. I was hoping for some help in identifying them. I have my guess but I want to see what you think. Sorry for the grainy pics. But I think it's enough.

Thank you. Took your advice and just now moved mama to the egg box which isn't being used right now and closed her in. I brought the younger chick out since it was starting to peep very loud looking for its mom. She took them both under her. I'll check later on tonight to make sure she's still...

Ok we have a first time mama hen. 8 month old Swedish flower. We got our first chick Wednesday. I came home today to check and she was out with the little one plus another! Unfortunately the newer one was on the cement slab near the food and eyes closed. It was so cold. Peeping. So I scooped it...

Ok husband got home and we were able to get things right again (switch working again and new light bulb installed). Hope our Chickies hatch.

Thank you. I have a brinsea thermostat and two additional thermometers in different places inside. I noticed that one of them red 107 at one point (where light was strong) while the brinsea read 102. So I have moved the lamp so it is close to incubator but not shining through the glass so it's...

I'm a little concerned. We're on day 21 of incubation. Have 4 eggs. One pipped yesterday and hatched this morning (yay!) one other pipped early this morning but no progress yet. Others have yet to pip. I just noticed an hour ago that the light bulb blew and temp got down to 86 degrees. The...

The chick. This is the bad leg

We hatched some eggs for the first time in our coolerbator this past month. Out of 10 eggs we had two hatch and 3 others pip (but didn't make it). One hatched normally. The other I had to help out. This is the chick I helped. It is 8 days old. Black sex link/Swedish flower mix It's leg was like...

Ok so the healthy chick decided to splay on me. Right leg only. Not sure why as I have paper towels down and that seems to be good for traction. Anyway. I tried the rubber band method per an old post on here. And within not even 5 minutes this chick had it off. I did it again tighter and closer...

This is how it looks when I hold it up.

You can see its hip sticking up and out on the right. Been like that since hatching.

I haven't made a splint for it. It appears a little stronger. Trying electrolytes tonight. When I put it by the water it drank heartily on its own. I'm confused on how to make a splint. I'll post some pics.
