    Protruding skull in silkie

    So it's been a while and I thought I would give an update on my little blind one. Not sure if it's male or female but it's starting to feather out so things are going good to say the least! It eats and drinks on its own still and has grown to the same size as it's incubated siblings.. doing...

    Well I'm sad to say I came home to a very struggling baby. Not quite sure what happened but little splits struggled for a few hours and then it just died. I'm just glad the little one isn't suffering any longer.. My little blind one (wonder) is just thriving!! The other one (spins) is walking on...

    I'm going to keep the 3 special needs together and document their growth and how I am able to get them to thrive! I'm in love. They all hear my voice and are ready to get to me. I hold them and they just sleep in my hand can't wait tonsee what they grow into!

    I officially have a little black walking silkie and a little yellow walking frizzle!! They are still splinted but are pretty good with their coordination! I have to say I didn't think any of them would make it. Also wanted to update you on my blind one. It finally figured out where the food and...

    Update! I now have 3 walking drinking earring babies! The other one I decided you splint and overnight she is up! (Or he) I'm hand feeding and watering the blind one... I can't give up on it. The straight legged one is called splay legged too i guess. Still falling over but handling business!

    Well I more for certain there is only one eye but the one eye opens at least partially it just doesn't seem like it opens enough to see which makes me nervous about it drowning in the water dish Also concerned about the same thing with the other spraddled leg chick. Should I make them a special area

    I went ahead and put 2 into the broader. They are walking around just fine with no problems. I kept 3 in the bator the spread legged one. The one eyed one and one that I just want to be able to observe because it isn't as active as the other 2. Well it seems to struggle a little with walking. I...

    When I checked this am it looked like the chick was doing the splits. Spraddled legs or whatever. I do have 3 very normal looking and acting chicks in the same incubator. If the chick is sick could the other chicks in the incubator have It? I don't want to put them in with my other chicks that...

    Is there anything I can do to help them. Or anything i can do to assist them and give them a better chance. Also do you think it's safe to put the non deformed chickens with the rest of the flock or could these be potential virus that could harm the other chickens. Someone posted it could be a...

    It is less than 5 hours after the hatch so yes it could still be that. this was also a weird situation to begin with. I have a 3 year old who CONSTANTLY messed with my incubator. literally all the time. opened it and stuck a makeup pad in it. So i was surprised that any of them hatched. I...

    So it's now been a little bit and this one seems to not be able to quite walk right and seems to not be able to catch it's balance at all.. It just stumbles falls and peeps. I'm starting to wonder about whether it will make it. Could it be infectious to the other chickens in the incubator with it?
