February 2023 hatch-a-long

[BarnyardChaos]

So y'all know the chick who had a rough start? this morning we put her under mama and she did fine until mama kicked her while scratching, out of the cage she's in. We didn't know it happened until an hour or two later maybe, when she was found, she was cold and we thought she was dead and were about to throw her out when we felt movement and noticed she was breathing very faintly. Warmed her up and two hours later she was chirping again. this chick has been through a lot in 24 hours.

Wow. She's a fighter!!!!! Can you steal one of her nestmates for a buddy in the brooder?

 

[BarnyardChaos]

did you do that yourself?

Absolutely. You post the video on Youtube or something similar, then copy/paste the link here.

well mama only has 2 other then her, the one that hatched yesterday is actually her biological sister. So i suppose i could grab her.
On the other hand, maybe not, being told no as they are worried mama wont take both of them then by the time this one get its strength in its legs. We aren't sure when it will, so they think if it takes too long, she won't accept them.
