    The kids will be going to their new home Memorial Day. I have to be careful with Salsa though bc I have noticed that she is starting to spread her wings and wants to fly. Lol! Ive caught her out of the box a few times.

    My BFF at another school is hatching Bantams as well, and I am going over there today after work to look at her chicks. All the chicks that make it are going to be going to her fiance's ranch next week so she wont be lonely for long. My daughter gave Salsa a small zebra doll to help keep her...

    Ive given up for tonight. My husband said the same thing, let her rest. But is it normal for Salsa to be stepping on her? Shes constantly standing on top of her.

    She just lays there. I'm so sad that ive broke down crying several times. She's drinking water and ive tried so many times to get her legs to stand. I even put cardboard to help her stand on something sturdy and hard.

    Ive tried for 3 hours to get her foot right. I made cardcoard shoes. Bandaid shoes. I tried cutting the baindaid in half and "tying" her legs together. Im so upset. She just lays there.

    Ok so Tortilla's foot is not straight. Not like Salsa's foot. Instead of her foot being flat, it curls underneath so she hobbles when she walks.

    Yes!!! She was born yesterday at 5:30pm! I was very worried about Tortilla bc she was having a super hard time standing. And this morning when I came into my classroom she was still having a hard time. Her umbilical cord was stuck to the floor, it had dried up and she couldnt move. I had to cut...
