Humidity Concerns

Now this hatch this weekend is from eggs that were laied after the attack so I'm not lookig at best results but anything is better than nothing and I'm happy that I have 8 chicks from the rescue! My Easter hatch should give me more than I had hoped for and as of now I'm happy I got an incubator each time I look into all the little biddy eyes each time I check in on my chicks

Hopefully this is a good hatch for you as well! You deserve another good one.

Thanks I'm happy that I have life again!! I'm worried about one of the chicks from my dutchie last one out seems to tilt its head way back then fall over backwards and can't get up could be because of being cold I'll have to keep an eye out on it but all the others are looking good my Easter hatch will start with 48 eggs so half my incubator full biggest one yet but I have a good idea that at least 90% are firtile so it's looking good with the results I have had and the cost of thevibmncubator has already paid for itself next step is a home made incubator I have almost got my plans in my head as to how now just need it in paper then reality might do a run later this year just to try it out and have it ready for next season.

Causes and cures?? This one just hatched with my assistance this morning I'm hoping I can help it I hate to even loose just one I had a hadd struggle with them

It can be neurological injury or more often vitamin E deficiency. http://www.raising-happy-chickens.com/wry-neck.html

Here's a video of wry neck. It can look different ways, but this resembles what you explained.

All I have here is sunflower seeds for my big ones so I crushed up some and added water in a dropper and administered I'll do that to see if it gets better I'm afraid it's because of the eggs being so cold so I mashed some seeds and added it to the starter I have just in case others develop it

I just went to pick up a few new things for the brooders, and ended up with buying chicks to put in it too. Lol. In my defense, I did tell my husband I was going to get "things to put in the brooder" Hahahaha
