No live poults so far. Stubby died overnight. No more hatches.

We did get 1 more chicken over night. We now have 4 chicks.

I did a quick canceling on all remaining eggs. I am hopefully for 2 of the Turkey eggs but it is late now so not sure. Just leaving them in the incubator.

I am sorry to put you through this. Glad stumpy died because he needed to be culled anyway. I think I need a new Tom that's not related.

What colors are the poults and chicks?
I was so horrified by stumpy I forget to even think about it.

The huge poult at the preschool is white. I think there may be a hint of gray lines. I believe it will be OK. I started my eggs on a Wed - assuming they'd hatch a day early which is today. I did not expect that one to hatch 2 days early, and that could be why the navel was red at hatch.

The teacher at the preschool loves to handle the chicks. I believe that's why our silly Leghorn is so calm. She keeps them for a week, holds them throughout the school day and also brings them home over the weekend. By the time they come here, they are so people friendly. I can only imagine how clingy that poult will become......

We have a chick party going on in the Coolerbator. Many have hatched. DS slept in a sleeping bag on the floor next to the incubator.

I do not have a pic sorry. Passed away over night and I already disposed it. I cannot even find a pic via Google of a similar chick. Essentially the feet were missing right at the joint you would normally remove them during processing. Each leg ended in a stub with one small nail that curled back. Of the chick were to eventually walk it would be walking on the nail since it curled back over the stub.
