Me tooooooooooooooo!!

Temp is stable, humidity is at 50%

Humidity is a little high....I usually hang around 30% give or take 5%. With all the rain we have had the last couple of weeks don't be
surprised if it plays havoc with your humidity. After adjusting, give it 24 hours to stabilize.....

I just opened it a little a couple hours ago... it's down to 45%, so it's getting there.

Ok they've been in there NINE WHOLE HOURS now, why aren't they DOING something!???

 

[MrsDeb]

It's gonna be a LONG 21 days! LOL!!!

Well everyone, Im not sure what to do for this little one that hatched yesterday. It's toes curl upwards and it wont bare any weight on it's legs.
I have had the legs splinted just so that they don't splay and I have the toes taped to cardboard. I also have the chick resting in a donut shaped
washcloth.

Anything else I might do for it?

I have had a 50/50 results with this. Do a bandaid like you would with spraddle leg and stick it in a shot glass. Let it sit there for hours, make sure it can get to food and water, check the butt periodically. One it worked for, one it didn't.

Yes it is. And being sick isn't helping because I don't have the energy to DO anything to make the time pass.

Aww poor baby... Wish I'd read something that could help!

 

[MrsDeb]

Ok, I stuck the chick in a shot glass, he's less than enthused about it all.....LOL!

He keeps pulling his feet up between him and the glass.....

Ooh!! Copyright that! Chickie pilates!!

Instead of having a rubber ball under his butt, it's a shot glass!!
