!emergency! Lockdown day 16 or 17? (Chicken eggs)

[starrri]

So that will be the only chick if it hatches? I suggest you get at least one other somehow as they are flock creatures. And do much better in numbers rather than all alone. You can raise them alone just much easier and better for them to have company.

I’ve sent you this link to read, it will hopefully ease your anxiety…if nothing else it will take you away from staring at your egg for a while oh it is so exciting isn’t it! I can’t wait until the weather gets better and I can put eggs in.

Needed this! Thank you so much for the support Even though it's stressing it's definitely eggciting! The little floofers don't even know what they put us thru

Hi!
Good news , the chick hatched all right yesterday(day 20). It pipped a few cracks and started unzipping right away and within minutes popped out of the egg It was such an exciting and wholesome moment !! . Now it's just floofing out in the bator Thank you so much for asking ! Also, do you take your chicks to get vaccinated for mareks at the vet?

Maybe these girls can help you find out how and where to have them vaccinated @cherrynberry @Little Baby Bean @Fluffy Lambs I’m not sure where about in the US they are, but they are closer to you than me.

I understand! I hadn't planned to hatch just one, but it happened.. I definitely agree that they need some friends. I am home everyday so I will constantly be keeping it company. I may get another chick if they have some at our local feed store.

I am in the Bay Area, CA. Nope, I do not vaccinate my birds. Good luck finding someone!
