Sometimes hatching just goes like that, so don't beat yourself up. Maybe you can try again sometime. :hugs- darkbluespace

October 2016 Hatch-A-Long!!
I don't use plans to build anything, I just wing it! I used a big box that was actually a shelf and made a door for it. It just has one 100watt bulb, a thermostat (temperature controller) from eBay and two large computer fans. The top three shelves are on an arm and can be moved up and down...- darkbluespace

Thanks : ) Here is a blog about fixing chick feet to give you an idea. I normally just use a piece of cereal box and a piece of medical tape to keep the toes where I want them. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it.html- darkbluespace

So cute! Hopefully her toes will straighten out when she starts walking. Last month I hatched a Silkie with curled up toes and it is still wearing shoes... Toughest toe situation I have ever had!- darkbluespace

Ahh, sorry to hear about your chick. I have had that happen a few times, that a chick just does not thrive. I imagine there was something wrong from the beginning and yet they are able to hold on for awhile. Little sweetie :love- darkbluespace

What is up with its foot? You can straighten out toes by making a little shoe of tape and cardboard.- darkbluespace

Wierd! My chick didn't make it out of the egg, just partly unzipped. I tried to help it a little and then saw the yolk :( I have never had a ruptured yolk before, that I am aware of.- darkbluespace

I hatched a pile of silkies and got them into the brooder today! Last two were out this morning. I just lost one because it was malpositioned and its yolk ruptured, poor thing. 16 silkies!! I didn't get a paint showgirl, turned out to be a clean neck lavender showgirl and it's so cute! Must...- darkbluespace
