Le sigh. End of day 22. 5 of 14 and 2 of 6 hatched. 1 of 6 piped and died due to malpositioning. Not great. I expected a better hatch rate from the 6 local eggs at least!

The shipped eggs were far more vigorous when they hatched. All of them piped to zip to climbing out of the shell in 3 hours or less (one in less than one hour!) 1 of the 6 had naval problems, although things are looking good at this point. I had hoped for a better hatch from the shipped eggs, but considering their state upon arrival, I'm not surprised. 4 of them were pecking back when I tapped the shell earlier today, so we'll see, but I'm not holding out huge amounts of hope.

Congrats on the chicks everyone! It would take me forever to read and say that to every cool baby chick picture, so I will just put it as that.

Sally, I hope your son feels better soon!

Oh yeah, that was another thing. Charlie took a lot longer to grow, I thought that her growth had been stunted because of the ingury, but she caught up the others eventually.

Her leg will get more stiff each day. Charlie is 3 years old and she can't move her leg at all. Her leg is locked in place at the joint. Though if she has any chance at a normal life, you need to keep trying to force it straight. Each chick of mine cried because of the pain, and since yours is older, it will only be worse. Temporary pain is better than a lifelong deformity though. If you want to give it one more go, then force her leg straight one last time and use your fingers to massage up. Maybe by chance you will finally find the tendon. Otherwise, you may need to accept that she will forever be like this.

Yep, last night it was very stiff, I really really tried to find that tendon and man did she scream.
the meds are metacam and doxycycline, she is taking them well.
She's "just" a pet, I don't breed them or anything, so as long as she isn't suffering and can fend for herself a deformity doesn't bother me.
Thanks for all the advice.
