EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Uh...ewwwww. I'm guessing it was infected and you were trying to get it to fall off to save the chicken??

Yes, frostbite.

Well, it was either this or I chop it off myself with wire cutters, so this is a hundred times nicer!

Well, in that case, well done! Is she dealing with being a one-legged chicken well?

She's a duck, but yeah. She can hop most anywhere on one leg that she could on two, albeit much slower.

Oh, yeah, thought that foot looked a little webby! Well, good! I'm glad you were able to save her!

Yea, I'm fine. Sure surprised the chickens as I fell into their feeding pans. Me and 30 hens going everywhere.
2&1/4 inches since yesterday morning

I'm sorry. I know that is a lot at once.

Boker tov everyone
News from Ken?

I texted him. So, we will see.

Thanks.

The knees hurt but that wasn't from the fall. Doctor tested the numb leg by stretching it in direction it shouldn't have been put in. Took a couple weeks to get over that. Hope yours are getting better

Thankfully they bumped me from behind mostly so I just fell forward. Temporary pain and annoyance was all.

PLEASE HELP, My eggs usually start to pipe and hatch on the 18th day and now this batch is very slow they are still alive but it's day 20 and no pipes. I've been thinking the air cells look a little small. What can I do?? I can't loose this batch it's one of my bigger ones.

I would like to see her stump too.

Are we talking chickens? Your heat is way too high if they are hatching that early!
