I'm searching for a Hovabator Genesis, though. This can only be trouble.

Well I had another hatch out yesterday so 8 out of 10 so far which for a first time is pretty darn good to me but....2 eggs nada so I'll give them a few days since they were only suppose to hatch yesterday so i don't know...does that sounds like a good idea. The last chick to hatch was the darkest of them all. They are so stinkin cute my mom put a cut out tissue box for them to all bunch together in and when I walk into the room they all pop their heads up and look like a bunch of french fries. Thanks for everything everyone helped with.

Well I really don't know what happened. I got pips that were really large this time and then they failed to hatch.

I did get 4 AMs though. Wow these are fat chicks!

I'm still thrilled I got a hatch though. I went through several hundred dollars since June with very few hatches. All of the shipped eggs anyway.

OK I have to use my phone for pics, but I'll add them in a few minutes.

Ok I have one that seems to have splayed legs or something going on.

Here's a couple of pics. Any idea what I can do for this one?

I'm trying to use a yogurt container to help hold the legs together. Not sure it's going to work though.

And here's the other 3

wolftracks, spraddle leg is pretty easy to correct, if you remedy it fast enough.

The above is a great website with pictures explaining how to correct the problem. I hope the little one makes it!

What kind of chick is it?

WELLLL

One day I was commenting on them in the AM thread and YOU mentioned I should get hold of pips&peeps! LOL

These are from her Lav and Split Lav pens.
