I think for that reason, we should be able to purchase little handheld ultrasound machines, at a reasonable personable price!!! Like the size of one of those baby monitors ya know, the ones with the monitor. AND IN COLOR

Got home this morning after being away for the night, and we had 5 out of 5 eggs hatch under the broody!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a slight concern, when I opened the coop, it was a mess! Obviously egg shells and whatnot, but also a broody poop , which momma appeared to have sat in, so her hind end is pretty poopy. I made an attempt to give her a hind end baby wipe bath, but with very little success, Should I be concerned??? Should I let her rest and try to clean her up after a few day days when she isnt so uptight? Should I hold her down and clean her? Or do I just leave her be? 4 chicks look like this and 1 is black. Once they are out from under mom I will try to get better pics!
For those who've had single hatchlings, and didn't have an idea mate to toss into the bin with it. I've got the baby sitting on my lap hanging out with me. It has a 1 eyed monkey rabbit in the cage with it, but I thought it wanted some company.
My ducks are too big for it, and none of the other chickens acted nice that were a few weeks older when I tried to see if any of them would adopt it.
My one youngest sex link hen, thinks she's a turkey now, and won't happily leave her 5 turkey buddies.... she was going to kill it when I tried to show her the baby....
Of course, I have more due to hatch in about 8-12 days. (were on day 9ish, so in another 10 days or so we'll be on lock down and waiting for new baby silkies.)
she's chirping non stop on my lap, and I don't know if she's happy, sad, bored, upset... she's not trying to run away. she's just chilling, but chirping.

She's alot quieter now though. I think she's asleep. I'm assuming the heartbeat thing probably calmed her down too - it works for babies of other species... so why not a chick?
