Hey...newbie question...my oldest chick is nearing 24 hours...and will peck at food in my hand but wont feed from the feeder...how do i get her to know where and how? Should i make a mash? Just at a loss...
Also, its pecking at the new ones to the point i had to separate them? Normal?

Yes the surgery went well thank you The chicks are doing good too. 15 have hatched and I’m still waiting on 6 Wyandottes and 1 Brahma. I figured some of them have been in the incubator for almost 36 hours so I removed the dry ones and they’re now in the brooder. How’s your chicks?

Fouur hatched...one assisted, all barnyard. Have 6 pips and thank the lord theyre the marans and olive eggers i wanted so badly. Shells are hard on those...so while not looking to assist, halfway expecting it.
Great news about the chicks and surgery!!!

That’s excellent news. Congratulations I’ll see how my last ones do but I fear they may need helping if they’re not out by the morning. All but one of the unhatched eggs are shipped and have awful saddle air cells so I was half expecting it too.
