Thanks. 🦚💕😞

I appreciate your help. I'm sad to say the little chick passed away tonight. Isn't it crazy how they can steal our hearts.

It will flex a little bit. There is some movement in the joint, so there is that little shred of hope.

When I feel the tendon on the back of the leg, I suspect it is bound or shortened. I am using massage with magnesium and I'm also gently working it. I really hope this works. He manages to eat, drink and poop. And sleeps a lot.

Thank you! This is my first adventure in hatching eggs, so I get concerned easily over everything that doesn't look right. I appreciate your explanation, it makes sense. Hmmm, malpositioning...thinking about it, his legs were out first. Is that normal? The chick is doing much better today. He's...

Thank you so much for writing back. I can't tell you the relief I am feeling right now. I don't know what the reading was. I kept water in the incubator at all times, temp at 100 degrees. There is no humidity gauge on the machine. This is a new machine, first eggs to go through it. The first...

Hi, my chick hatched out this morning. It is listless, and has swelling on the neck at the base of its head. Any idea what I can do to help it?
