June Hatch-A-Long

[lithiachick]

the little yellow one is right next to the bricks to the right of the green base of the waterer and the little darker one is s little bit away from the corner of the bricks

Oh, I see it!! It looks like a little pine shaving!!!

Ok my hatch is done. I have 8 chicks and 9 quail. Great except I started with 47 eggs. I put 12 chicken eggs and 15 quail into lockdown. My first pip was the morning of day 19. So I think my temp was too high. I was having trouble keeping it steady. I got no CLBs and all my blue black splash ameraucana are grey. My quail are either yellow or striped dark with one light striped. One chick has a seriously deformed foot. I read up on here about making a shoe but this

looks impossible to me with its toes crumpled into a ball. I'm gonna try to post pics. Can it live like that? If it lays I don't care how it looks.

If I'm seeing this photo right..the toes are curled under? That should be easily fixed with a little boot on.

Three out of 4 that went into lock down. HRIR's.

Ok. I'll try. DH looked at it and said we'd have to break his toes to straighten them out, since they're on backwards and crumpled into a ball. I'm very sick so I can barely stand up (horrible timing) so I haven't tried anything yet. I'll try to soon and post pics. Thanks.

Back wards? Now that's a different story. hmmm..haven't seen them back wards before. I couldn't tell by the photo. Back wards is pretty bad.

Day 21. I had to force myself to come to work. And keep looking at the clock. Can I close and go home early?

Back wards?   Now that's a different story.   hmmm..haven't seen them back wards before.     I couldn't tell by the photo.  Back wards is pretty bad. 

I just looked again. He/she only has one toe on that foot which is why it looks like a ball. That's the joint with one toe on backwards and upside down. Serious deformity. Wonder why that would happen? I don't have the heart to kill it. Maybe it can live like that?
