I assisted the last chick. It's a good thing I know what I'm doing.
It was just about at halfway out of the egg but the hens were refusing to sit on it so it was almost cold. I only took off pieces of the shell that weren't attached to the chick.
Now I'm currently sitting in the coop to make sure the hen that's still in the nest stays on the chick to warm it up.
She is softly chirping to it but I don't want to trust that she'll stay on it if I leave

I was a little worried about that last chick that I ended up assisting yesterday. It wasn't doing so good last night and I was expecting to find it dead today but it's doing much better.
It's still trying to find it's feet and it's very wobbly but chirping like normal.
I currently have the hen and chick separated so that the chick gets used to everything before they get let out.

The other hen and chick are also doing good. They're free ranging with the flock and Scout keeps trying to follow them around despite the hen warning him to stay away.

I attended my first convention this weekend! It was a virtual Les Mis convention called BarricadesCon! I had SO MUCH FUN and I’m hoping to do a panel in ‘26 on the animals of Les mis

Both mama hens no longer have chicks. They're all dead.
I feel like I failed my birds and I also think I'm done letting them go broody.
Once our duck hatches her clutch, none of them are ever going to go broody again. I'm done with this.

Oh wow I'm so sorry for your loss

My ducks sure love to scare me.
I thought something managed to eat half of my ducks until I could hear them quacking in a section of the yard I'm unable to access at the moment.
I gotta wait until my dad gets home to help so I made sure they have plenty of water

I think my ducks may fear my dad a lot more than me. He walked over to where they were to get them out and they rushed out of there so fast that I had to recount everyone once they calmed down
