Day 18... 27 chicks in the brooder, one egg hatched this morning. Still have 13 eggs in the incubator. Hoping to here more peeps today.

Was excited to get one golden chick. Don't have any golden adults, so I'm excited to see it grow! Hoping to get a fee more in future hatchlings!

Good luck to eveyone!

Question, the last quail chick to hatch was stuck inside its egg. I helped it out, but part of the sack is stuck to its feathers. It's mentally alert, but it can't sit up, legs and toes are not right. Any chance it will adjust? Or should we just put it down? Thanks.

If it doesn't improve in 2 - 3 hours, and you don't want to cull it with scizzors, here is a link to euthanize small critters. It uses a rodent as an example, but it could easily be small chick.

I helped two out last week. I could have kicked myself afterwards, because I had two chicks that were just laying on their sides in the incubator. I thought it really would have been better if I had left them alone and let them die, because I didn't see them surviving anyway. The next day (they were still laying on their sides) I took them out, dipped their beaks in the water and put them by the food. I figured the other chicks were going to quickly kill them. I was really surprised. The next time I walked by the brooder box I noticed the chicks were up and trying to get around. By that night they were such pros at walking and getting around that I couldn't tell which two were the ones I had helped out of the shell.

i had a chicken that had part of the membrane stuck to it (humidity too low duringhatch. I took a paper towel soaked with really warm water and dripped water on the areas with the stuck membrane and very gently rubbed until it came loose. Then jacked the humidity way up to 80. It seems to be doing good now.

If i raise a chicken (golden sebright) chick with my quail chicks do you think they'll get along as adults? I know chickens will kill quail as adults but if they're raised together would it change that?
