QUESTION all three chicks have wingsets different on each side! see pic 1 vs pic 3?
they all have like a few droopy long feathers on one side only??????

Yeah, I'd say split wing. My BLRW's came out with several like that and it corrected itself in about 5 or so days. Cuties BTW!!

My vent gleet article is on home page, they even sent me an email! lol

I hope it helps some hens out there!

OMGosh Sally, that's wonderful!!!! Seee, You're Movin' On Up......

gosh its storming on and off!! I have brooders to clean but its nasty out!

I understood. Unfortunately, what I am trying to ask never came out clear.
All eggs were 3 days old or less. Of 14 eggs, only 2 had big air cells. All were set at the same time. I wasn't candling each egg when I did candle. I didn't know about the 2 problem aircells until the last week.
Since posting that question, I have come to a decision on what to do this next time. I think it will go much better with my new knowledge, and no distractions (last 2 weeks have been insane).

I think we all learn from every hatch. For me no two hatches have been the same. Maybe if I had a rock solid coolerbator like Sally's then maybe I would totally rock the hatching. Enjoy your little fluffy butts.

Are all of those chickens living the good life in your bedroom?

Lol for now they are. Actually, tonight, Basil and Sophie are having their cage put out of my room because Basil has figured out crowing.

What can I do about Basil? He likes to bite me when I try to pet him, and he is mean to Sophie, But when I take him away from her, she wails out long and depressing peeps. I put him in with Hope to teach him a lesson, but I think the tables have turned, and Hope is now afraid of him. XD I really want to keep him, but I don't think I can if he is not sociable, which is a big reason I want chickens (for pets, in other words) My coop has actually been measured to fit four chickens, and I have five. I will have to give him away eventually, but is there a way I can train him to be nice before I do? Anyone have suggestions?
