Yes!!!! I finally have a live peachick hatched from my trio!!! He just broke open his shell. A pied with almost completely white wings. He is out of my pieds with a lot of java in them. I'm so happy I may not be able to sell this one. Still hopeful the other egg will be pipped tomorrow.
This is way more stressful than my chicken or quail Lol!!!

Congrats!

I have a question??? can baby pea chicks really get so stressed out by seperating them from their bonded mom that they will die ......

History: I was given a peachick when I bought my eggs along with several other chicken chicks.... I have held it often the first few days, but then did not want it becoming to attached to me so I have tried to hold off with holding it, and it was find, not calling for me too much unless it wanted something... it seems very intellegent..... anyways.....I put it along with the chicks it was with under a broody mom that had just hatched out eggs.... She took them all great.... but the peachick not so much so.... it was 5 days old and at first it sat up under the mom fine and did not leave her for at least 12 hours.....the next morning I noticed that it only kinda was pecking at food (the chicks were going crazy) and it was no longer staying close to the mom.....and then at lunch it was behind the moms next box all by itself.... I have a heat light in with them but not behind the box..... I put it back with the mom and it just seemed depressed... this continued till this morning when I brought it back into the house with one chick for company.... I fed it some bread soaked in water which it ate off my fingers and it seems content now....

could I be overreacting? I do not want it to die! but for the life of me I do not think that it was acting right... it was not getting picked on, but it kept seperating itself even from the chicks it was raised with....

any advice????
