aww, sorry for the bad hatch. The tummy on the one should go down. Give it some time.

Splayed leg is very easy to take care of. Tape them thar legs closer together, set them in a low wide glass for a day, and they should be fine. If not, put the tape back on and leave them taped for another half a day. The curled toes usually uncurl after a day, if not..give it some booties. I use electrical tape. Sooo easy to work with.

I use the wider tape, and if the leg is splayed I just cut the width in half to tape the legs together. This tape goes on so easily, and comes off easily when taking it off..but..stays on well! I hadn't trimmed the corners yet..I round the corners up.

The one with the Mushy tummy died shortly after I posted this.. I took it out to put some iodine on it and gave it a drop of water, held it for a bit and put it back in with the other two, stood and watched it flop itself over to the heat than I went about my chores, walked past the brooder about an hour later and it was laying on its side.. Poor thing.. Waiting for hubby to get home to help me with the one with splay leg.

I set 20 eggs around noon today. I am still waiting for my 3 eggs to hatch- it's day 22 for them, and I haven't seen anything.. It's not looking to promising either.

I HAVE INTERNAL PIPS! Day 19! It's my first time doing this, but I'm a livestock person so haven't really gotten excited so far. But oh my...I'm not sure I can handle lockdown now that it's actually here! Somebody tie my hands...
