Quote: I had one of those little bitties. Mine was called Joy. She only lived 5 months and my, was she a little joy to us! I still miss her like crazy. Of all my chickens she was the most special to me. She was like a child to us...
Anyway, here's a thread I followed ages ago about a little bit that wouldn't grow and he came right in the end. This was from the time I had Joy actually. She was bigger than him, but he outgrew her in the end:

Okay, update on Bella. She is still in the animal hospital, and they just did a surgery on her to remove the unhealed yolk sac. They said it was a breeding ground for bacteria. They were going to wait a day until she got stronger because of the medication she was taking, but they did it today because they were not going to be there in the hospital tomorrow because they were going to a zoo, and they were worried that she might get worse. Anyway, the surgery went well, and they were mainly worried because of the anethstesia (spelling!) and that she wouldn't wake up, but she did wake up and was peeping her head off! I got to visit her before the surgery, and I got some pictures (she was definitely feeling better). I might post them later. She has to stay there for two more days at least to recover. Remember, every 24 hours costs 200 bucks or so (plus surgery and meds.)... All I have to say is I LOVE MY MOM! xD I will have to pay her back some day...
I am still hopeful!

Also, Sally the other chicks can't get it, and it is not contageous!

I will have to just hope for Bella to make it. She is sooo tough!

knittycat, congratulations that are soooo cute!

Sally, so it was my husband that thought he saw the dark spot in some of my runners eggs, I just candled them all and he was seeing were the veins like connect. My weirdo air cell shipped egg is the one I've been seeing the dark spot growing for the past week but I realized I told u the wrong end, it's at the fat end right by the duckling. Now that its grown and the baby was really moving today I could see the spot moves with the duckling. It almost looks like a feather because it's long now and almost looks connected to him now too as I see it move. I'm being very paranoid about my uno egg since it's the only one that developed, my $30 dollar egg!


It's the black line and the bottom kinda between the two veins

Maybe the umbilical.
