I have 2 blue Orps that hatched that way as well. We tried to straighten their toes with no success either. Now they are 14 weeks old and have no problems. I'm glad now that I didn't cull them b/c they are the sweetest girls. As long as they can get along I say love them the way they are.
We have 5 gallon automatic waters that hang in our large runs the bucket sits on the outside of the run and is filled twice a day and in this heat we also add a frozen gallon water jug to try and keep the water cool. We take everything down once a week and wash with a bleach solution then put...
Oh yes they are doing great! I am going to candle them tomorrow and see how they are all doing:fl. Send all the vibes you can. Did you get the pics of the bramha babies I sent? I stink at sending pics through email. They are getting bigger. I might just keep them if no one wants them. I have an...
I would be willing to help as well. I have eggs in the bator now (turkeys ) but after that would be ok. Would like to know what the project is as well. New adventures are always fun! Oh and I use a GQF sportsman. Love it!
Wish I could help. Right now we don't have any bantams or game but if I find any I'll let you know. We usually do large breeds and right now have turkeys in the bator. Might start hatching out chicks again a little later in July. Have to see how the gals feel about that first. Might be too hot...
Oh this is great! I love EE's. All the different colors and patterns and each is unique in their own way. I only have 3 right now with some smaller babies coming up. I'll try to post some of the pics.

We feed our chicks extra eggs too no problems with that.
As for the heat it's hot and humid here too so we have been putting bags of ice in the water or a frozen milk jug (full of water ) in the water. We use 5 gallon buckets attached to automatic waters and it keeps the water cool which seems...
Okay I had I to go look. I have 7 babies so far! I still love it when I go check and there are more waiting for me. I'll try to post a few pics but be patient with me I have a hard time running my toaster much less working a computer. The other babies are welsummers that i got last night from...
May I join in on tis as well? All your babies are so adorable! I have EE's and RIR's hatching now. Ducks next week are due for lock down and then turkeys on order to go in around the 15th. I have to stop myself from checking the hatcher ever few mins to see if I have new babies. I'm really...
I found a feed mill in Ranburne Ala that will custom grind my feed for me. The only problem is a 500 lb min. My ration is a min of 1000lbs. For us thats ok and we will be placing a order for July. We have enough commercial feed to last till then and the price is a lot better than i thought. This...
