Hi! Thanks for the advice, we do think conditions for incubating may not have been right as there were two broodys on the nest, we did try to separate them but we eventually let them both sit as we didn’t think anything would hatch. We do think this chick may be ok but he is still only standing...
she is just sitting on him now she is a lot calmer
thank you for the advice! We do already have some of the nutri-drench you mentioned and we have been giving some to him as well as putting apple cider vinegar in his water bowl, we find this encourages them to drink and he has been drinking. He...
Hi, I’m sorry but I am unable to upload to yt with a link. Thanks for the advice I’ve just removed the hen as she was stepping on him and kicking him, though I did replace her with another broody who is a lot calmer I’ll send a pic

hi :) so i hatch all my chicks with broodys and ive got some tips for u if u want them!
. you should ALWAYS spray the eggs on the 18th day of sitting, it helps the chicks get out on the 21st day and ive had a few disasters when i forgot to do this when shells devloped hard ridges along the...
