Hands on hatching and help

She died.

Oh no! I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

sorry! Was hoping she pulled through for you!

Omg I'm so sorry. How are the others?

I'm still worried about the broody that I have with chicks due tomorrow. She was crazy jealous about the first broody and attacked her, which is why I gave her eggs of her own. I hope being a momma is all she wanted.

Congrats to everyone else hatching! Please everyone keep updating! I may not comment, but I love reading about them all.

And where are all the pics, people??!?

Amy I am sorry you had this rotten day. Reminds me of my experience from years back---which is one reason why I separate all my broodies from the flock now and keep the chicks separated till they are adult size. I got tired of the chick killing and the bloody fights between the broody mom and the other hens. No More of that for me.

This was my pullet that came up missing and I found her and 16 babies in my landlords junk shed. I didn't want them getting hurt in there and they couldn't get out, so lack of a place for her I put her in the coop that housed my 12 10 week silkies. I knew the silkies wouldn't go after the babies or challenge the momma, I just didn't realize she was going to be this aggressive. She's always been a skid dish bird and my other two were never this aggressive.

Oh nooooooooo!!!
I don't remember if I posted these or not....

Oh no! I'm so sorry

When they internally pip you can often hear them cheering inside the egg. Isn't it cool? You will probably see an external pip w/in 24 hours.

  I'm so sorry, Amy!

Thank you.

Oh no! I'm so sorry

How is the other chick doing with the leg injury this morning?

About the same. Still not putting much pressure on it but eating and drinking. I was telling Ruby that I decided not to separate her as long as she can move around and eat and drink because I feel she needs the companionship of the siblings. I opened the coop for them this morning and she is, so far, staying in the coop resting the leg, but every time I check them at least one of her siblings are laying in there with her, keeping her company. It's like they are taking turns so she's not alone.

No. Lol

That was supposed to be cheeping not cheering. We recently got an IPad and I swear it doesn't think I know what I am talking about and insists on changing half of my words!!!
