JANUARY 2015 Hatch-A-Long

Unless you are hand turning, in which case you have to do both, lol!

Yeah, guess I should specify, "during lockdown". I have a turner and I still handle all mine every few days.

ah yeah, lockdown. It's hard to resist candling every day.
I'm on the second day of lockdown. This is my first lockdown where the temp and humidity are staying where I want them. Last time I had to keep opening the incubator to add or remove water.

The AMs and the Orps came from the same breeder. (I really wanted the buff Orps for my husband as his pet, Buffy, was killed last spring. I looked to see what else she was selling and saw the AMs--I've kinda been wanting some so I got those too, just to have something else to throw in the bator.) I don't know them and don't know anything about their birds. The pics of the parent Orps were gorgeous. I still have just the three Orps hatched out. I'll send some pics. Need advice on what to do with them....

Chick A: About 36 hours old. Lays on side, can't stand on feet. I tried putting it in a little plastic fruit cup, but it kept turning it over. Right eye is not formed correctly.

Is there anything I can do for it? Let nature take its course? Or go ahead and "cull" it?

Chicks B and C

B is about 24 hours old and severely cross-beaked.

C hatched sometime during the night (was stuck all day yesterday with only a dime size hole. Last night, I cracked the shell just a little and put a few drops of warm water on it to help it detach from the shell and then left it alone. It finished hatching sometime during the night). C is now about 12 hours old and just flops around on its back.

Again, can I do something to help, do nothing, or euthanize?
