INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Peachickie]

Thanks to @sallysunshine for all your articles and advice, and to others here sharing your experiences! We hatched in a bator for the first time and got a 100% hatch rate (we set 9 eggs)!! We used a used basic still air Hovabator I got off of Craigslist and built our own hand turner. We didn't actually plan on it, but we ended up with Valentine babies!!!

Here they are!!

Aww so cute!

So it finally happened... Sigh. Tonight when I closed up the chickens, I did my usual check.... And Pebbles has frostbite on the bottom half of his wattles. He was fine last night. My guess is they got wet when he drank, and then it got cold enough he got frostbite. They are blackened and swollen now, so I put him in the cellar.... Anything I need to be doing for him? I'm hoping he doesn't loose them.
