I just noticed today that I have an older silkie whose legs are splayed. I feel terrible for not noticing before now! She has extra long feathers and tends to stay under the Brinsea heater. Anyone have experience with treating older chicks? It's about 7-8 weeks old. Thanks.

Thank you for the response. I contacted the person I got the eggs from and she has only one rooster, a speckled sussex. She has gold laced Wyandotte hens too, so they must be speckled sussex roo over GLW hens. Mystery solved. Thanks again!

Thank you. Do they look like crosses to you? They have no speckles.

I hatched these four from what was supposed to be speckled sussex eggs. Two of them don't look pure to me. I'm thinking maybe SS x GLW? One is clearly roo. Do you agree that they look like crosses? I think of the two that do look like speckled suusex, I have a pair, labeled SS pullet and SS...

Thank you.

I just candled and the air sacs are at the large end. I've taken them out of the turner. Any other advice or suggestions? Do I need to go ahead and pump up the humidity like an early lockdown?

Thanks, that's what I was thinking too. The aircells are at the top.

First time hatching and I just realized the eggs were supposed to be small in down in the tray. It's day 16. What should I do? I'm afraid to turn them now and was considering taking them out of the turner and putting them flat ahead of lockdown. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Not sure how old this Leghorn is... I think about 6-7 weeks. Boy? Thanks.

BOUT 6 weeks old, I think. I was told hen but boy does she have big feet.

Darn. I guess it's an accidental cross. She raises show chicks and thought it was a welsummer. This is the 2nd time I've tried to buy welsummers and gotten something else. Guess I better educate myself a little more. Thanks for the response

The lady I got her from is stumped as she did not breed any comets. What do y'all think?

Update: put the chick back with momma and she settled right in. Doing fine today. Thank you for the advice Eggcessive.

Sorry. Struggling with the BYC app. Thank you for the help.

There were only two chicks and one was already dead when I realized the dog was out. So either way it's going to be a singleton. I have had them in a grow out pen with momma. It should be about 60 degrees tonight.

I pulled a 4 week old chicks out of my toy poodle's mouth this morning. Luckily the poodle is so old he has no teeth, so there are no punctures or obvious bites. The chick can stand up and I treated for shock with electrolytes. I tried putting it back in with momma but she completely ignored it...

Thank you.
