Praying is a good thing no matter if he wants it or not, I say he is too old and too mean that's why the good lord makes me shine on him, to beat the devil out and some goodness in!

Almost did a spittake with my coffee on this one!

HAHHAHHAHHHAAA you two will make this thread even funner together!! YAYA!!!

*nod* *grunt*

I have always been told i am full of trivia and useles information - unless its needed.

Its a pleasure to be here and a pleasure to be of use at times.

time for work

I finally found someone like me. Hubby calls me the font of useless knowledge.

Sally, why'd you unsubscribe? You're cutting off your avenues for enablation.

I have read about leg issues with new chicks and have eventried a time or two to deal with them, but I need a littel advice about this chick. She hatched out yesterday mid morning, seemingly without issue. My bator is at work and I had to leave early yesterday because my horses were having their teeth done. All 3 chicks were out, but this chick was still sitting in the bottom half of the shell. I hatched them upright in a styrofoam egg carton with the bottoms cut out. Two of them were still very newly hatched and wet, so I left them in the bator figuring on transferring them to the brooder this morning. When I got to work, the littel chick was still sitting in the bottom half of the shell. Poor baby was glued in there!! I ran warm water on her to loosen the eggs shell and gently removed it. She seems fine and strong, but her legs are sticking up as if she is still in the shell. She flops around the brooder if I do nothing, so I tried putting her in a cup. She sat in there with her legs up in the air around her head. So I wrapped vet-wrap around the legs to keep them closer together. She still kept them up along the side of the cup in front of her. Then her feet looked like they were swelling, so I had to take the wrap off...

Do I need to try to build something to put her in that will support her body and let her legs hang down?? Will the legs eventually straighten out on their own?? Will passive motion stretching help her to recover??

Thanks for any advice anyone has to give me!!
