Michigan Hatchers! What'cha got cookin?

Pics
Well almost done hatchin.
Half the eggs hatched, rest died right before hatchin. Have 3 to go then done for a few days.
I have a outside baby brooder and last night after work. I found a chick almost dead and cold motionless bleeding from his head. Looks like it fell victim to other chicks peckin his lil head bald. I grabbed it up and placed it in the bator just to see. This mornin it up and peepin and runnin around! Im so happy as its a calico cochin and was so sad to see it dead. So give a few days to recoup and blue kote his bald spot and reintroduce him back with the rest of the peeps.
 
I fig I would ask here...

I have a handicap chick born yesterday. It looks like a chocolate cochin bantam with a hip disfigurement. Some folks could keep as a pet and I would like to findIit a home if I can. Looks very healthy otherwise and bums me out cause its the 1st chick born from my chocolate cochin project.

I have 13 mutt eggs :) Had 14 but dropped on yesterday :( It was fertile and it just made me sick. Ugh I am at day 7! First time hatching....So excited to see some little fuzzy babies in 2 weeks!!!! I am in the freezing UP so looking forward to spring and warm weather. I feel so bad for all my birds it has been such a cold winter for them and it is all there first winter. I have 6 chickens, 3 rouen ducks, 2 turkeys and 6 guineas.

@mindylee have to ask even though I'm sure you know. Its not just splay leg is it? Don't shoot me for asking that.[/quote

BANG! your dead! Lol ;)

Nope not splay leg. Looks like its dislocated at the hip. Leg goes under the poor lil guy but hip sticks out and is sorta stiff. It hobbles around so I fig a pet home might be a answer before makin another decision.
Was hoping for splay leg as thats a easy fix.

I would possibly take her if there wasn't that chance she could be a rooster :(.
