Wow I can't keep up with all you chatty folks!! Wish I could contribute more!

Chicks are a week old between today and tomorrow. They have their normal chick feed and I have given them live meal worms a couple times...what can I give them next?
 
Floppy and Huntchback Frozen egg chickies Update.....

Floppy hasn't flopped since about 2 pm today YAY!! I will take the foot pad off tomorrow and see if toes stay straight. Eating drinking and being a great chick.

Hunchback is fine, but should be named crooked neck as the neck isn't drooped she moves it fine when she wants to but she always goes back to that tuck side position. weird.
I hold her and make her look the otherway and she does it fine and even will fall asleep in my hands like so.


CAPTION THIS!

Thank god I looked in on my broodys eggs and one had pipped in the lower middle of the egg and then just kept pecking in that spot and made a big hole she had turned them so he was pip hole facing down in the nest. I picked it up and noticed the outer membrane was all tan and leathery with a bit of blood too. The flap of membrane was stuck to his bill and closed it so he was breathing just through his nostrils. As soon as I took the piece of outer membrane off his bill he started opening his bill like crazy then finally started moving. I took him inside and candled the air cell is all the way on top above him so I chipped away the shell he started and stopped because where it was already gone a lil blood was next to where the membrane meets the shell. I can see the yolk below towards the little end and the blood vessels are pretty small but still there also I took off some of the outer membrane but above his bill the outer membrane is totally stuck to the inner membrane and there's dried blood on the inside of the outer membrane edge so I put bacitracin on the membranes and put him on wet paper towels next to his sibling in the bator who still has yolk and lots of blood vessels left but peeping away. So is it ok to leave some of the outer membrane on there since its stuck to the inner?
I tried to post pics but it won't let me how I always have. It's asking for a URL. I can put them on my profile so how can I get them com my profile to here?
I uploaded pics in my profile of the new one I really need advice on, you can see how far down it pipped and pecked by the yolk at the bottom of the hole in the shell she made. The pics are in the most recent photo set

If you go to my profile and there are two sets of pics, click on the sponsors one and it will be the first 5 pics in there that are of the lower middle pipper. The next 5 are the first one that still needs to absorb a lot. That middle pipper in the first 5 is what I'm intimidated of. Tell me if you still can't find em
