Arizona Chickens

[beehappy4ever]

Hey All,
So I am posting in some other places also but wanted some feedback. I put my eggs in lockdown on the 3rd today I came and two of the eggs that had pipped hatched while I was gone so I dont know which chick came from which eggs but one of the chicks looked wrong, it was hard to tell through the hatcher window so I pulled the chick out (lightening fast so I didnt mess up the humidity and temp) and found that is was somewhat deformed. It is missing the outside toe on each foot. Also where the umbilical cord was is bulging. It is chirping/screaming non stop and I am afraid it is in pain and not sure if I should cull it. From observing it appears to have issues getting its legs under it almost like they are splayed. It is suppose to be a maran and I bought the eggs on byc.

Here are some pics

Not chicken related but had to share. Picked up my son at the airport today. He has been in Bahrain since March. He is on a 2 week leave.

My wife's girls are roosting on the side again.


Since they only roost on that one side of the container, my wife came up with an excellent temporary solution until I can come up with an appropriate lid...

If it were my chick and I thought it was in a lot of pain I would cull it.

Tell your son Thank You for serving, from my family. We are eternally grateful for those who have or are serving, and that goes for their families, too. They make huge sacrifices as well, and I'm sure it is a daily worry for you. I hope and pray that my girls can grow up and contribute to the freedoms and safety of America the same way.

You are welcome. Michael is very proud when people thank him. I had a big worry when he called a few weeks ago and said the helicopter he was in crashed. He is an aircraft mechanic and he and some others were allowed to take a ride. They were up 100 feet when a few engines decided to fail. He said it felt like slow motion coming down. Luckily no one got hurt. Glad he is back in the states!

Someone already had MamaHen so my daughter said to get MomaHen. If you see me, wave

Maybe just let it go a few days and see how it does, you never know...they can adapt to some issues...Don't panic yet...just watch and your heart or the chick will tell you...Hugs while you wait...
