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

[Toast n Jelly]

Toast and Jelly, I had one like that and I did the bandaid thing for 3 days and chick has been fine ever since. Pulling and keeping the legs in seemed to help the chick's legs get stronger. At first it crawled on it's legs but eventually got to it's feet.

Thanks I'll see if that works!

Thanks I'll see if that works!

I had one like that but one of its legs was out at a weird angle. No happy ending here.

see if the bandaid works.

Today I got the brooders cleaned YET AGAIN! I have to admit the best way to brood ducks is to have a spare, ready to go! transfer ducks and then clean the dirty one at leisure! I do it daily already! they are what 11 days or so old? hmmmmm They stink after just one day in the lower level for sure! good way to use up the straw I didn't use for the straw bale gardening that's for sure, can you imagine if I woulda kept all 15 of them suckars? OMGAWD!

I also dug a trench from the house all the way down to the pool for a new electric line since the previous owners simply buried a live wire in the ground as my DOGS just showed me last weekend! DOH! STUPID! Like the tubing is so expensive to put it in! People never cease to amaze me and this house is filled with so many stupid things I cant even tell ya! All hooked up and wired in, but its freezing and I don't feel like messing with the pool to start the filter now! lol Tomorrow is another day right?

Chad is taking all my extra chick/chickens to auction, so tomorrow (supposedly) I have to figure out how to get them ready for him, I have this gorgeous Ameraucana x salmon faverolle that I put in the pen "to go", and she kept running back and forth and when I told her to stop it she looked at me agast and I was just heartbroken! So I grabbed the little stinker and put her back in with the serama and told her she better behave and be the best laying hen I ever had! She clucked,shook and ran off like a bat out of heck!

This chick hatched today and can't get off her bum, she is in a sitting position. Can't find info regarding this problem, all help appreciated. She hatched 1 day early if that's any help.
