Quote: No, not yet. But you can give it a little sugar water to give it an energy boost. Dribble some on it's beak, it'll drink it. Just a bit. Shame the poor thing is probably exhausted and you too

I hope it's going to be o.k.

I have been drip feeding it sugary water since last night.

If it can survive all this, it will get the most momentous name ever!

I will keep my fingers crossed for it. You should name it after Sally. She's a survivor too and one of the strongest people I know.

Knowing my luck it will be a roo.

Ok

I have a question, or at least a poll of opinions.

I hopefully will be hatching about 100 chicks. Some of them will be Sebright and Serama banties. Should I just separate the banties into a different basket or should I fire up a hovabator to hatch them?

My pro for a different hatcher that they may hatch earlier and could simplify lockdown. My con is that I wont be there to check stability.The bator will be modified to have a digital thermostat.

Decisions decisions.
