ok so my cochin hen has hatched off 5 chicks so far....and there are all 5-7 days old. i thought no more would hatch because there was only one egg left. i went down to the lot yesterday and found a chick it had just hatched and it was cold. the mom wouldnt take care of it. so i took him/her inside and got my brooding light out and put it in a box. i thought it wasnt going to make it....the thing was chirping but it couldnt walk. it just flopped around the box. so i just left it to die.....
..............
this morning i got up because the loudest chirping was going on in the bed room. low and behold the chick was up walking and being all chickish....so now im sitting here holding the chick i have named peepers and trying to type with one hand.....but im glad peepers made it....
