Arizona Chickens

The brooder tractor that we all built did not work.. we put her in last night with all of her lovely eggs.. This morning she was up wanting out.
I figured she was off because of hunger, so I put feed in.. That seemed to work.. At that time the eggs were still warm..Took the dogs for a bike run..
Came back she still wants out.. So I let her out, she ran for her old spot.. Picked her up put her back where her eggs were..
She went on them.. Then I was about to let kent our roo out of his cage.. She was up trying to get out again..
Felt the eggs some were cool.. So I let her out, she headed for her spot... I moved the eggs back under her..
Oh well I have a beautiful new 7feet by 3feet by 3 feet high. Tractor cage...

still not sure if we will be able to get the new hatched chicks & exchange them with the almost 3 week old one??
Any advice? On that?.
 
Hope this doesn't end up as a double post! Anyway, we welcomed our new baby girl into the world on April 25 at 0320!

So cute! What side of town are you on? I'm near Speedway/Pantano.
 
A little video of Buttons feet. She stumbles and steps on her own feet. Her toes often end up curled one way or another and she doesn't shift her feet to fix it. I think her time is coming this weekend unless she shows serious improvement. Any ideas what this is all about?
Ahhww poor button, it looks like the main toe is broke?? From what I saw?? Do the thee girls pick on her? Can she eat & drink?
