Doh, so my newest chick is going to have to be culled

SEVERELY deformed. Missing one eyeball on one side. Other side has eyeball in the wrong spot, and a hole where it *should* be. A slight cross-beak, and that leg thing going on, like one leg was positioned farther up/back than the other. Wondering if only one of his ears worked too, because when talking to him, he'd turn his head to the side that didn't have an eye at all to "listen". Now I need to figure out how to cull him, my husband wants it to be "painless".

Poor Batman.... Only made it to 24 hrs old.

Are these silkies?

Hi Everybody! I'm new to the thread. Never hatched anything, ever, in my life.

I read Sally's first two posts and was like...

Then I was...

Then...

I'll definitely lurk...and before long ask some questions. Mostly I'll try to read so I don't ask annoying dumb question.

But I will probably ask some questions if I ever take the incubation plunge, cause I just like to talk to people and make friends!

Thanks! Debbie

Hi bride!!!! Sally is great!!! Read her notes before and if you try hatching!!! Welcome.

Welcome!!

Yes, Welcome, and do ask questions. You just may ask one that I was too afraid to ask and look silly for asking it. This way, ..................
