Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[ozexpat]

My poor crook neck girl got worse tonight. And to top of my run of chicken failures I have misplaced a chicken. Pretty sure it wandered thru an open gate. Probably a tasty chicken dinner for a coyote already. I am calling it a day.

Some days are in need of calling over and done with.

Tomorrow will be a better one.

This sudden wry neck issue is new to me. I need to research it when I get back to the other side.

Serama Saloon needs your ideas! We sorta took one step to a theme and it snowballed! I need a spittoon for the porch, a wagon wheel and we are going to get empty whiskey bottles from the Gun Club and do something with the roost above the second chicken entrance that is empty yet, oh and a small fire pit with wood/ash for looks and health, and some logs for the kids to sit on around it.

First up is a video and then pics for those that cant see the vid... oh and did I mention I LOVE SKIDS!

Awesome!!!!

I feel bad for the poor hen that laid this one. I think it's the Cornish X, but not positive.

I have a chick that's always looking to the side. Its about a month old now. It was pretty weak at one time.

you gonna cull it? I just hate that part 2 of my chicks have very deformed feet so I think I'm gonna have to cull them wich is a shame because other then not walking very well they are very alert any ideas suggestions

Sally has a link to chicken orthotics somewhere.

Looks like wry neck. If she is getting on fine and you are fine with keeping her the way she is then don't worry about it. She should not be breed due to it being a possible genetic flaw.

Every time I see a chick with some on I fall in love.Could it look cuter?

Ya I put all in except 2 who haven't quit figured their legs out yet and as the small ones outnumber the big ones 22 to 5 they are getting along fine ty for your input I really love how the community here helps each other

It is nice..i love to come here just for the talk and most everyone is nice We all need help now and then .
Input always helps me make the right decision and each hatch ...always some new thing to look at that hasn't happened before... or seems to me.
