Chickens In Ya Window

[Sally Sunshine]

Ruby put the chick in one of those tiny rectangle baby food cups for a day to hold his feet together if the bands keep him from walking. A lot of times the bands make them fall over and are worse than not. at the bottom of the hatching 101 article you will find images and links to this. I never bothered banding, I always used the cup. Blarney taught me this, it works wonders and in short order too!

Understanding Splayed Legs and incubation distress that easily leads to splayed legs​

This condition has been associated with high humidity during incubation, but the results of our research indicate that higher temperature conditions during the last phase of embryo development may have a bigger impact. Splayed legs are also observed when newly hatched chicks are placed on slippery floors.

I woke up to a pip!! Looks like this chick will get a friend after all!!! (thank goodness, not wanting to raise a lone chick!)

Yay!!!!!! You should put the other little guy in the bator to help coax the others along. Lol!!

I love this article. It was great information to have available esp if and when I need it.

Thank you!! I have one of those too! He seems a lot better this morning! After I drop the kids off at school, I'm going to really examine him and I will do that if he needs it. I'm going to take out the MHP, and put up a red light to keep him warm and near food and water. He really needs a friend to teach him to drink!

Haven't had to jump out of windows for a long time now, but I am intrigued by those who dare to deviate from that which is perceived as 'normal'. Many here seem to fit that description. Can I hang out with ya'?

Wait...there is something called normal? Never met it. Welcome!

Oo, what's this I see in the forum page list thingy? Knew *exactly* who had to've started it, too ;-)

Invitations? I didn't get one... Probably because I don't tend to respond to the windows...

Anyway, I'm here for reading material and to annoy SC by being quiet and then, at some random time, doing an info dump;-)

I'm just getting caught up after coming out of my purple haze, so I'm replying to this before reading the rest. Honest, I wanted to invite you, and had already discussed it with someone else, but my stone showed up before I got the chance. I know how you like to read, and this one should be good
