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

[Sally Sunshine]

Goodnight fair people of earth, I'm off to join StarLord for a quest among the stars.

night!!

Hey everyone! I'm joining! I'll be getting 17 chicks on the first of March. But sometime in the spring I'm going to be having a broody hatch some eggs for me. This will be my first time letting a broody hatch eggs. I usually incubate instead. A ways I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice? Or I can hear your experiences? I have already read a lot of broody articles and stuff. Just wanted some extra info.

I'll be giving some updates and stuff when I get the mail ordered baby chicks, and when I get one of my hens broody.

Welcome!! I have no luck with broodies, so I hope the others can chime in for sure! I know to mark the eggs and pull any new eggs thereafter and candle same days as incubation so you dont get a exploder and have to clean hens and eggs!

How do you keep it in the cup? He uses his good leg and wings to really move. Determined little bugger which given his issue is a good thing. if I ties the legs together and use deeper cup maybe.

he cant move lmao!! I did put his legs together to help pull the other leg, I am not sure I can fix this guy, seems like his "hip" ??? is pointed out and it dont really move, so I will take this contraption off tomorrow and see what he does without it, if he needs more I will rewrap him.

Stay safe to all of you out east, and I will see most of you tomorrow, I am sure!

Hey, daxi! If it doesn't have splay leg, and it's a slipped tendon in it's hock, I personally would try splinting just the one bad leg. Just my 2c...

I don't know what the deal is. I am too inexperienced.

do I need to tie the two legs together?

I didn't. I wrapped the tape around his little body though because his hip seemed off too. I guess it depends on the problem. With mine I could tell the joint wasn't quite right. It wasn't just splayed leg. You can do what Sally suggested too, that would work also. I needed to make sure his joints stayed in place on the one leg.

It's good that he's active. Gives him a better chance to pull through
