You need to start with giving her chick grit as a treat. I put it in the palm of my hand and they think it is the best treat. After the chick has grit then she can have other treats.

What can I use as chick grit? Tiny bits of washed gravel???

I have pictures of my Hope at one week and two days:



She likes standing on the branches to get closer to the heat light.


"Why must you wake me at such an un- godly hour??"


Her tail feathers are coming in and are shaped like an upside- down "V." Her wing feathers are very long. I tried holding her in my bath robe like I do every day, and she wouldn't stop wiggling and peeping. She didn't want to be covered up any more. I also think she was thirsty because she kept opening her mouth up and staring at me. Her eyes are green?? ?

She's too cute!

If you give her any kind of treats give her some grit as well. The last thing you need now is impacted crop. After all the trouble hatching her!

Her vent looks fine..I am keeping an eye on her..she hasn't taken an interest to the water or food..she is resting, her feathers were dry so I placed her in the brooder w the other 2, the incubator had so much humidity and was a mess I wanted her to be more comfy and she loves the piece of feather boa I put in there to sleep in. I am trying to be happy about these 3 healthy chicks ..I tend to dwell on sadness sometimes so I feel guilty over the one loss. Just knowing it would have been ok and its my fault I assisted with out the knowledge and know how. I know it happens and we learn from mistakes ...I was going to put 2 more in the incubator from my Frizzle that laid ...but I am scared to go threw it again.

Yes Sally it happened right after we logged off for bed, I thought I would have until at least 6am but she turned in the egg and then started kicking out...I hadn't seen the first 2 hatch so I didn't know what to expect...when she was out thats when I noticed the vent had a bump on it almost as in the picture you posted...but within 10mins it was absorbed into herself. She has a lump on her head though...what is that? Will it go down? They are Silkie mix, Mom looks like a Silkie and Dad is Silkie/Frizzle

This is Mom & Dad
