May Hatch Thread--Fill up those bators n' broodies!

[ceocka]

sound like the baby's are runnin wild up there

Yes they are I had around a dozen chicks. Two polish and two bannies. A few copper marans. I am loving them all. I will get some pics tomorrow.

Had a bit of an idea in the kitchen tonight. I was trying to give the baby some yogurt and some water and chick feed which is softened with water. S/HE was doing ok but very vocal a lot of the time. S/He is getting lots of attention though. Eggburt seemed a bit distressed at being alone so I gave him a teddy but he didn't take to it much. Then tonight I was doing dishes and put my hand to the dish cloth. It is YELLOW! I turfed through the cupboards to find a new one and viola new fluffy yellow mummy hen flanky! Bless him he ran to it right away and climbed on top. He has not left it alone since and is snuggled up in the fluff he is not nearly as vocal so I hope that means less stressed. (ok I said HE I know but the chances of it being a girl knowing my luck! :/ )

I am just hoping it will live. We are going to see someone we know tomorrow to see if they have a baby brother or sister for our little guy. Our other two Roos went to live there so we may even get a chick back from our own roo boys? That would be good!

Oes

I am so glad you discovered the yellow dish cloth. Please don't give up. Try to find some local eggs and try one more time with us on the June thread.

Hoping someone is monitoring that knows the answer to this question. I'm in lockdown today is the BIG 21. They started hatching yesterday morning and continuing into today. I haven't opened the bator but came home to one who had just hatched and then died 5 minutes after coming out. I don't want to compromise the others that are pipped but I feel I need to remove him. What do you think I should do?

51 in the bator
39 entered lockdown
22 hatched
3 pipped
1 quiter
1 deceased hatchling
