Mahonri's 2nd Annual BYC EASTER HATCH. Post pics of your chicks!

[Chickie Mamma]

I am soooo happy right now

One of the babies has been having a problem standing since hatch. She lays on her side most of the time and when I try to sit her up, she falls backwards. She was the first one out and was not thriving like the others. I thought I was going to have to cull her. My daughter was sitting with her most of the afternoon after I told her not to get to close to this one.
I went down to check on them and she is standing up on her own and pecking at food I crushed and sprinkled on the paper towel

She took some poly-vi-sol mixed with water from a dropper on her own, she was pecking at the dropper !! Not out of the woods, but definately hopeful

Here is a group shot of my fuzzy-butts... not the best pic.. they move sooo fast!

Probably been answered already, but it's probably part of the yolk sac, I'd try and isolate it in the brooder, put a semi wet paper towel in a coffee cup and stick it in the coffee cup in the brooder so the other chicks can't get to it, it will continue to absorb and and fluff up.

I have decided to call my first pipper Eggbert. That thing is up and running around with the bottom half of the egg stuck to it's butt!

No movement. I just want this one egg to hatch...just one. But some of you have late pippers so I'm holding on to hope. But I will do the float test later tonight.
