I don't know for sure but I think I'm developing a severe chicken addition/psychosis.....I hatched my first batch ever 2 1/2 weeks ago or so. I have 4 Black Sumatras a 2 Seramas. One Serama I had to help hatch and she had a hard first week. Very weak,splayed legs the whole 9 yards. I learned about the Bandaid trick from you fine folks and she seems to be improving. She is a slick little sucker tho' and gets loose frequently. I put silk medical tape over the band aid tonite. (She hates the hobble by the way but it's for her own good-right?) Anyway she had a brother hatch with her who is doing just fine. I assume he's a roo because he is already getting long tail feathers,strutting around and grooming himself,etc...Very manly.
Well anyway to get to the point-my teenage children have informed me I 'have issues'.
I made a bed for my little Seramas,just a cut up sweater sleeve that I formed into a little nest for them-which they adore and snuggle down in every nite. I clean their little 5 gallon fish tank house every day and started giving them occaisional treats of dry bread crumbs (very little). I talk them to them,watch them all the time thru the tank,hold them and let them sleep in my hands,etc....I talk about all the smart things they do. ... AND to top it all off.I got a second incubator and am hatching more! I started a staggered hatch before these guys even hatched out and have my first one in my second hatch pipping tonight!!!!
I MUST have issues.
What do you guys think????
By the way-I want to post some pictures of my babies-Anybody interested?
