Chicks are doing GREAT. Although I vowed to keep them, I did give them to my neighbor after I had a my first Dog attack incident on Saturday night. No one was killed, but pretty close to it. My poor Roo is Bald now. So I decided not to join anymore to my flock until I am 100% sure it will never...

Quote: Im still so amazed that he was pretty much dead and bounced back so fast! It was incredible to watch.

Quote: OMG I hope I turn out half of the chicken mommy you are, you did great Popsicle and Cupid are 2 lucky chickies I am 30 and Im sure I have started to grow grey hair because of all this anxiety!

Here are the pictures of 'Popsicles" 2am ordeal, my son took... When he first came in. It was soooo sad 40 min later, sitting up, but still wont open his eyes. Looked like I feel when I have a hang over... and yes, that is a pair of my 10 year olds" tighty whities". It was the first thing on...

Little "Popsicle" is doing great! I finally had to get up and put him out in the coop with his mama because he wouldnt stop peeping at the top of his lungs at 5 am. Cupid is great also,both act like nothing ever happened. I will bring em in for a photo shoot later on. I have them to thank for...

Baby is now Peeping and on his feet! Incredible creatures!Gave him some hydration, Im off to bed-Thank God

All I can say is that God really loves Chickens, or they are incredibly resilient(or both). In the last 30 minutes, he went from stiff and from what I could tell,not breathing. Now he is visibly breathing pretty well and kicking his legs,but still laying on his side. Can you bring a chick back...

Well its almost 2 in the morning and we just got home. Got stuck on Donner Pass,it was a blizzard so it took an extra 5 hours to get home. Baby Cupid is fine, but was shocked to see that one of his siblings squeezed through a crack in the nest box and was locked away from mama for who knows how...

Couldnt keep ya hangin. Heres a quick pic... The family

He is back with mama and you cant tell anything was ever wrong with him! I promise to post picks soon. I have an 8 hour drive ahead of me today, and Im racing a storm, so its gonna be awhile till I can post. He is very sweet and cute! He looks the same, and acts the same as his egg mates! Yay...

A longggg night. I dozed off and awoke to wild peeping. He couldnt seem to get out by himself,so I ran another hot shower and took him in the bathroom to help him escape his shell. He is still wobbly and trying to hold himself up. He sounds lonely in there. I just went out to check on his mamma...

Coffee would help if I drank it.It would also help if I didnt just eat a huge steak dinner, then top it off with a a serious piece of Cheese cake. Food Coma!

Looks like Im pulling an all nighter. He is very warm and moist. He stretches out, then curls back up. I dont think he needs anymore help, just time and cheering! He keeps chewing on his wing feathers. Pretty darn cute!

Sorry forgot to post the picture....

Here is an updated picture. He chirps, but its weak. I took him in a steamy shower and pulled back some of his egg/membrane. He didnt bleed. I have not seen any yolk, but 3/4 of him is still in the egg. I put him back in the bator. He is breathing fine and every once in a while gets a burst of...

Im letting him hang out a while. No change. I will keep a close eye on him all night round the clock and play it by ear. Seems to be doing good still

From what i can see, most of his siblings have hatched within the last couple of hours. He is steady in his breathing. I snipped a little piece of membrane away from his nostril and it bled a little. he isnt making much of an attempt to get out. Just breathing and hanging out. He lets out a peep...

He is in the bator with 70% humidity, but I did rub the membrane down with a little olive oil and its keeping it super pliable...

Quote: How long should I let him be,without progress, until I step in? I can see little veins in his inner membrane...

Well the brothers and sisters have been born. I have decided to try and help him out. I have cut the tape away, and poked a hole in the outer membrane. He is peeping and breathing steady. Now that the tape is gone, that open area is exposed to the air.Im not sure if it will help any, but I...
