Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[chicksooner]

Went out to coop this morning and was surprised by this.
Now question???
Should I put the mom and chicks in a lil coop together with food and water or take the chicks and put them in a brooder????
They are Sicilian Buttercups covered by Black and White Crested

Are they on the floor so the chicks can get out of the nest box with mom? If so I would leave them or move them to the floor. Mom will take care of her babies

Hey guys, I have a lot of work to get done today so I probbaly won't keep up with the thread. If anyone needs immediate help with a hatch, feel free to send me a PM.

He's alive and he's looking pretty good. Since I put him with everyone else, I can't moniter how much food he is eating.

I bet he is lots happier with his coop mates. sometimes the companionship of the others is enough to get them back on track.

I actually have to be productive today but will be here and checking in frequently.

for all the hatchers today. Be patient.

Quote: When we found my polish x sultan pullet had somehow lost her leg in the coop/run, we took her inside to a large cage. I didn't think she would make it, so I brought her hatchmate and put him in the cage with her. Immediately she perked back up and I still think that is what did the trick!!
I'm so glad now that I did not cull her, which was the advice of some. I now have 5 babies from her, my first broody hatch. She does just fine with the one leg, and is a very sweet bird.
BTW, she was not the broody, that was my party silkie

I am still amazed that my little weirdo chick survived. I am so thankful for all the experience and info flying around here!! Every time I look at that little chickie, I will think of Sally and be grateful!!
That little bugger kept me up all night with worry....waiting, watching, checking.
I learned so much with my first broody especially what not to do!! That little thing is a survivor!!

Why not name her Sally?............

Quote: I told DH I wanted to somehow reference Sal in it's name, and after OZ called Sally "SassySally' on his thread and we were laughing, He said, Sassyfrass.....So, that chickie is now Sassafrass, sort of after Sassy Sally....LOL

He remembered from months ago when I said that I wanted to name on Sassafrass some day...Funny, he forgets everything else.....but remembered THAT, at the proper time even, go figure

I try to keep them gender neutral because I had to rename a few last year....then everyone here was tooo confused

Well I came back to try and help the chick that was stuck in its egg, but I was too late. It had already hatched all on its own!
So 18/18
