Leave those eggs with the others. They are also losing mass too rapidly.

Will do. Thank you

I would tape it, it wont hurt that's for sure! How old is the chick now? sometimes after a day you don't notice it, if she is walking and only a newbie she can go a day and then tape her

She's not even a day old yet...seems to be gettin around quite well! I'll keep an eye on her...if it's not mostly straight by tonite..I'll try the taping..

Quote: my late quail was like that yesterday and by end of day it was fine. she is walking ok? I have taped toes as late as 3 months and fixed easily. sometimes just a day helps them to get stronger and then the taping wont mess up walking near as much too.

3 Months? Really? That's interesting.

A friend of mine has a chick in a bad situation. It's about 4 weeks old. She told me one of her chicks had "clubbed feet" the day she got them, but I didn't think anything of it. Well, last week she called me saying that one of her chicks had broken legs. I drove over to take a look and the poor thing was in bad shape.

It's legs weren't broken, but they were very screwed up. What she was calling "clubbed feet" was really severely curled toes. The chicks ankle turned outwards and it's hocks bent inwards. One day, it was just too much for the little guy and his legs splayed. The poor baby was scooting around on it's belly to reach the foot on water. I'm not sure how to fix it's legs... They are very messed up and appear permanently deformed...

My 110 degree eggs are on Day 4. There were two eggs I suspected survived and I checked them today and they have good veining today!!! I will check the rest tonight. They have a long way to go but we'll see.

Oh, and my other baby gosling hatched. Looks like 1 boy and 1 girl. Since I already have Goosey, I decided to continue using "goose" related names. The girl is named Goose-lynn and the boy is named Gooser.

Both have the weird navels... I wonder if it had something to do with the incubation..

Quote: oh! all that info was updated and organized plus added to, I can suggest you read its update https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101 and as your reading about what is most important with incubating you will run into the shipped eggs section of the notes. Feel free to come and chat and hang with us, plus we are usually here for you if you have questions!
Welcome to the thread, sorry about your eggs, polish are tough as are silkies shipped, they must have weak aircells. If I want to try polish again I will do everything I can to find them local or another state over.

Tell us a little about your incubator and how far have the eggs traveled, where the air cells dime size, quarter size, rolling or just "loose"
