Feather sexable!

Moved two so far and working on the rest. When I saw them in the brooder I was like oh they’re not THAT tiny! Small, sure, but not too tiny... until I held one

 

[ShrekDawg]

I think this little one is splayed or something. He’s been struggling to get up

We’ll see how he is when I move him to the brooder.

Also I just watched one hatch.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Pretty sure he’s definitely splayed. but he managed to crawl under the heater all by himself so feisty little one!!! Clearly wants to live so



And here’s the yellers.



Left two in the incubator for now cause they literally just hatched and looked exhausted.

Definitely splayed. Get it splinted or into a cup as soon as you can. The earlier to fix it, the better.

Okay thank you!! Would something like this work if I lined it with something? Or could I wrap the legs together in vet wrap or?? Assuming he’ll have to be separated??

Vet wrap should work. You may not have to separate it out. I would try the vet wrap first so it can move around with the others. I tried to use a bandaid on the one I had from this hatch, but ended up using a waterer. This one didn't straighten up, though.
