Anyone up for a Hatchalong?

One down, one to go. The second one..... I see big feet, but I don't see the beak.

all my eggs are done I ended up with 6 infertile 3 healthy and one weakling that didn't make it out of the shell. next year I will wait a little longer to get my eggs it seems a lazy male wasn't doing his job so early in the season. the last chick to hatch had splayed legs so I made it some hobbles out of regular clear tape I used a 1 1/2" piece folded sticky side in on each leg, that way you can just snip them off when you don't need them anymore and the chick doesn't get all sticky. I used neon colored zip ties to id each of my chicks you can id as many as you want just record what bands you put on which leg and what color they were. leave them pretty loose and snip the ends off at the lock part of the tie so they don't tighten them on their own. check them every few days and snip any tight ones and put on the same color bands looser. my dog thinks the chicks are puppys
