June 2025 hatch-a-long

I tossed the other two eggs.

I had 4 hatch. I assisted the first one. It was completely ready but just laid there after and didn't really try to push out. Wasn't sure if just tired or something wrong. Looked before work and all were sitting there so was happy. Got home from work so had more time to watch and that one just keeps falling over on its back. Doesn't look like spraddle legs so not sure what is wrong.

I have 1 BCM "pipped".... There is a small hole in the egg.

Woke up to the one that was pipped half way zipped. Watched for a while and no movement. Not sure what happened but think it died while zipping. I have never had that happen before. And as of now I don't see any other pips.

When Ioved the Orpington to the brooder and could look closer I noticed one leg was a bit more to the side and it would stretch it out and topple over. The other foot the toes would curl but not curled all the time. So I have it hobbled and a shoe on to hopefully fix it quick.
