My only concern is if the black one needs the social support.

If left to my decision, I would keep them together
I can't imagine separating them is a good idea - they are social animals I suspect being alone is a stress in its own right.
 
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.

I've read a bit. You had them posted to you yes?
And, the post was late/delayed generally crap?
Now they are not surprisingly sick or just weak?
I'll read on a bit more....
 
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.
Oh my gosh, you're here! Right when Bob needs you!
My thoughts exactly! My mouth dropped when I saw him on, eyes wide. @Shadrach!!!

Bob knew you were going to scold him. He was already scolding himself.
 
The Legbar is Gone

She passed around 1:30 my time. Miss Legbar has passed on. We will bury her next to Dusty. 😪😪😪😪😪 😪😪😪😪😪
I’m so sorry Bob. You really did everything you could. Perhaps she was the first to hatch and had the least reserves. :hugs :hugs:hugs:hugs

You really are a caring person and putting in a Herculean effort with these chicks.

I would never separate them. I am certain that would be the end of them.

I told myself I would never get them by mail again and I did it anyway. There you are. Now they are suffering......
