I am at 6k, so if you have questions go ahead and ask. This is my first hatch but I have spent the last three weeks researching and asking questions. If I don't know I can certainly point you in a good direction.

Edit to add-

I just noticed you are the same person I was talking with on the other thread! Good luck!

Sad part is I am not keeping any of these. I am attempting to start a hatching to sell micro business. Brilliant Feathers Urban Farming, LLC.

But here is the link to the lady's sale page with pics of that chick. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/729450/bin-12-beautiful-blue-green-and-olive-eggs/10

Sooo tempting to try and keep one like that if I do get one though...

Sorry i didnt get back was reading last night and to bed early it should take a few hours ..One i had last time couldnt get up at all..but later was walking fine !
.if she doesnt take a look at her legs..Are her feet and legs facing the right direction and seem normal ?MY own observation ......lot of them have foot or leg issues if you have to help them..not all though
If she does she needs to have a brace etc...within the first 3 days for it to correct itself.
Well dont kick yourself
i know i have done the same ..and you feel so bad. but you never know if or when you should help or even sometimes why they died.
Yes could be shrink but who knows.Just watch your humidity next time and dont open during lock unless you have it way up . thats all you can do,
.My last hatch i had 2 or 3 looked good but no sound etc on day 23 but one hatched the day before...so ipitched them day 23.. a day later after they were trashed i though why didnt you open and look?Founfd out the pother day my bator temp is too low at the grill .!!
Maybe they were late! JEEZ DUMB! I didnt because it was cold out and i was afraid opening in the house if one was rotten it would smell the house up.. Anyway ill never know

Rox, last night after her being dry I could take a look- her legs look good, but her feet look turned under. I massaged then kind of straitening them out. This morning 1 foot looks good, she can stand of it- the other is still turned under. How do I put a brace on her foot? and what would I use??? And of course this is a silkie, so she has the 5 toes and geez they have big feet! She seems very strong & has pooped- so that's good.
