Hatching Shipped Eggs

[n8ivetxn]

Oooh! Congrats!

.... love to see a broody with chicks! They work so hard sitting on those eggs for weeks, it's rewarding

Still only 3 babies

I would ask if you can hear anything coming from the eggs, but you probably can't hear anything over the hatched chicks and hen.... Well, don't give up yet, the hen is still sitting on them, so there's hope

How many did you put under her? (I forgot if you said and I can't see the earlier posts!)

Hoping for more!

Happy to announce today that all 9 of my shipped eggs hatched under my broody silkie. I can't believe they all hatched!

One appears to have spraddle leg that I'm treating and another is shaking her head so she's inside with the spraddle leg girl. They have nutri drench in their water and food.

Poor things.. spraddle leg is a quick recovery...the head shaking, I'm unsure about. She's a little young for wry-neck, isn't she? Do chickens get wry-neck? In any case, I'd think the nutri-drench would correct that soon enough....

I bet momma broody is a proud mother

..... I miss my broodies

Is she shaking it or "star gazing" and falling over? If she's star gazing, it could very well be wry neck, which sometimes with the right vits, can be resolvable.

Yup, they sure can. They can be born with wry neck. It's more common in chicks than in adult birds.
