Lockdown Disaster (Homemade Incubator)

[SailingAgape]

I thinking I'm checking all the boxes as far as a hatch gone wrong. #2 finally is out of the shell with the help of some coconut oil swabs on the membrane. It appears happy to finally be free, all except for some really curled feet. I'll be working on some teeny tiny boots as soon as I feel like its got a chance to acclimate to breathing outside and dry up some.

Also got a brace on the ice skater. It did not like the donning process but it's standing on it's own for the first time.

And I had to cull a hen that developed some pretty played legs.

It's been a full circle of life day!

I had to help out 2 pipped on the wrong end.

I don't get in a habit of naming birds.

But after fighting to hatch over 26 hours and coming out with severe curled foot, if this one isn't named Forrest Gump one will never be named!
