I have included a picture this time, it appeares to have a broken leg, but when we picked her up to splint her leg, she pulled her leg in and it looked normal and strait then. So, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. We are not sure if we should brace it or not or even how to. Thank you...

Thank you, Will give this a try. My vet is a farm vet but doesn't do birds/chickens. Trying to reach a specialty vet in my area. Thanks again. Just checked on the little guy, he gets around very well with a broken leg.

right below the feather line, can it be fixed? Can I help and save this little one?

Just noticed my three week old peep has a broken leg, so many questions. I have never had to deal with anything like this. Any and all help and advice is needed. Not sure what happened. How does this happen? Will it survive? Can I help it? Will I have to put it down? Heart broken for the little...

I thought so, I started raising chickens last spring and Love them, I am now known as the crazy chicken and cat Lady. LOL :) I now just pray they will both be hens. :) Already have one rooster and the Kids and I are already attached to these babies. Fingers crossed :)

Thank You! I see your are from up-State NY. Me Too! From Wayne County, half way between Syracuse and Rochester, near Sodus Bay. Now live in WV. We had to get away from the snow belt and NY taxes. Hope you get some spring soon. And thanks again for your help. :)

Good, Thank You. The peep hatched at 11:00 p.m. last night and is a cute yellow peep this morning. :) Very happy! Incubated 3 eggs and got two peeps, which is what I wanted because I have two grandchildren. Two very cute peeps for Easter. What a Miracle!

Thank You, will give this a try.

Hello, I have 2 eggs hatching in incubator. One chick hatched just fine, the second one has pipped but blood is coming out of the shell. Is that normal or should I assist? Thank you in advance for your help.

They are BEAUTIFUL chickens. I will have to look into them.

Yes, I have good memories of hatching chickens when I was a kid. So, I thought my grandchildren would like to see a chicken hatch. I have peeps 6 weeks old and my grandson loves them and they love him back. :)It is 4 p.m est here now. What is the time difference? Will keep you posted.

Hi, removed egg. Thanks again for all your help :)

Yes I have been turning the eggs 3 to 5 times a day. Yes, this is my first time incubating, New question, one egg is starting to stink. Does that mean it is going bad? Should I dispose of it?

The one I am presently candling I think is around day ten. So happy it is moving inside. Having a little trouble with comparing to pictures while it's moving.

Have thermometer at egg height, will up the temp a little. Yes eggs were under brooder. Thanks again for your help and am candling now and comparing with pictures.

temp is staying between 97 and 100 degrees, humidity is at 46 right now, but has been down to 35%. Still air incubator. I have candled when I got them, not sure what day they are on because neighbor gave them to me after they were not gathered for a week. Some seemed more mature than others, so...

Thank you for your advice, removing egg now. I have made my incubator. Having a problem keeping moisture in it. I have been moistening the eggs by sprinkling water on them to try to keep them moistened. Is this wrong to do?

one of the brown eggs is leaking white from a hairline crack. is it still viable? Got fertilized eggs from neighbor and believe this egg was most likely on it's second week. Feel I am making many mistakes. Help!
