Chicken tender

[Kjirsten]

If you have the other chicks in with her, please put a partition to keep them apart. She is weaker than them and they will walk all over her. Give her a washcloth or small stuffed animal to cuddle with (it she wants). Hatching is quite exhausting, so it's not unusual if she sleeps alot.

I put her in a smaller container inside the brooder with her own food and water so she can hear them but they can't bother her. I hope to know more by the morning.

In case anyone is wondering, this is where we are. The other 3 eggs did not hatch and at least one was shrink wrapped. I got 7 healthy chicks and here is the late Hatcher in her new chicken chair. I straightened her legs with gauze wrappings. I read all this online, so any additional advice is welcome. I added vitamin drops to the water. My concern is that she has a hard time holding her head up out of the water.
