Quote: Yup I took the advice that I should NOT LIKE IT OR WANT TO do it, but know that I need to do it. Deed is done and wasn't so bad. Thanks you guys for the support! It was a big step, now the bigger step would be eating them, but I will freeze them for a while.

Quote: Sparky sorry you had to deal with selfish fish people, I have found, as you can see by my own actions most times, its best to do your own homework and protect yourself from these sorta people. What gets me really upset is now that I watch over my elderly aunt how much people abuse and twist things to older people just for money. That is just bad.

I'm in GA this weekend and my eggs are all alone in FL on day 20. I won't be home until tomorrow night, which will be day 21 exactly. I hope everything's okay and they are just chilling while absorbing yolk. The good thing is I won't try to assist any early pippers

I still cant believe you left them LOL. you should have set the computer up to do that video streaming thing!

Jfer if it's spraddle legs, it fixable. I put the band aid brace on a newly hatched chick for two days and she was just fine after that. It was my first ever hatch too.

I don't know if its spraddle leg. She won't stretch one foot out. How do I make her stretch it out and walk

 

[jfer]

Ok let me get a pic of her. The other one is still drying off he just popped out. But his little feet haven't opened all the way yet. Let me get her pic

Omg I think it is spraddle leg. You can really tell in the pic but she's flopping all over the place. The yellow one
