Good morning everyone!
So good to hear all the news.

Chevgrl -

YAY. I'm so happy Hugo made it. I have to ask: do you think the bum eye is covered with shrink wrap membrane maybe? I only ask because I had one last year that was shrink wrapped real bad and I noticed it didn't come off her eye on its own. When she was a day old all I had to do was hold a moist paper towel over it for a little and then peal up the side of the membrane that was stuck to her head. Then she pulled her head away and her eye was clear. Don't know if Hugo has the same issue. Mine was a Buff too.

such sweet chickens.

Congrats Cynthia and Bigtime and Snazzyboots! So happy for you!!!

If it was me I would try now. I would think the sooner the better. Keep us posted.

Well, it's not an urgent situation. If you have a hatch going on it makes sense to wait. Mine was in the brooder for a day before I had a chance to get to it. I don't think there was any permanent dammage, she seems fine. But it's up to you.

Don't you love it when people give you opposite advice.
