My question exactly. I was thinking they might do better under a momma hen... @CrazyChookChookLady might know...Would Phyllis help or hurt this situation?
I have no specific knowledge but my gut feel is keep them under your care for another 24 hours (she is a new Mom and may not know what to do) to make sure they are improving.
I would definitely give them a plush toy or feather duster or both to sooth them. They have had one hell of a journey so it is not surprising it is taking a bit of time.
Yep. I agree. My gut says this too.My gut says babies do better with moms, knowing that you will be watching closely.
My heart rate is up, my leg was tapping while catching up as soon as I woke up now.All 3 are Alive
They are however very weak and I am very concerned that the legbar will make it. She is not standing.
they have been nutridrench'ed and are under the heat plate as we speak.

@Blazinga is the other one I can think of with plenty of experience. Where is Shad when we need him?I have texted CCCL. She is at work right now. I know she will respond when she can.
Then my chickens can't eat unless I watch over them at every meal@RoyalChick is right- if you want to minimize the cruel you have to get them to not go into the coop for food in the first place. Remove all bait and block entrances.
I have such limited experience and would really defer to those that know more than I do...Is Mum the Answer?
So now that the chicks seemed to have leveled off I have a very important consideration. Please everyone think this over and respond with your thoughts.
is it time for me to turn things over to Phyllis. Would she be better able to bring them along or would she react by pushing them away thinking they were sick?
For some reason I am thinking that Mum could get them to eat better than I can.
This is a serious question. Please give me your honest thoughts on this.
I'll kill them myself. me and the cat will set up campI can tell you that for free. They are definitely pregnant. I think they have babies every 6 weeks.
