Blue Creek Farm here is an update of chick 13. How do I know it is chick 13 cause she had 2 bands, one on each legChick 13 IB Pied split Charcoal hatched but it wasn't it's lucky day. I dropped the not once but twice and it hit the washing machine and bounced of the tide bottle and landed on the floor. Broke a lot of the shell off and it was bleeding. I stopped the bleeding and checked it was still alive and chirping. Removed the paper towel and dropped it again same thing again. The chick was still chirping. I gave it a few hours for the clear membrane to dry so I could help it out of the shell cause it was not going to get out on it's own, poor little thingThere was pieces of shell everywhere. I took pictures and looked at them asking how the heck it survived that horrible fall TWICE! I removed all the broken pieces of shell cause it was bleeding. You can see in the first picture where it landed as there is still blood there. We I got it out and then washed it in warm water to get the dried stuff off. It has one heck of a swollen neck, biggest I have ever seen. So far it is doing good and surviving. I will post dry pictures tomorrow night. It is from Hades Charcoal and Aphrodite the IB Pied
Here is the little one this morning. I think the toes will need taping but we shall see tonight:
Just want to update this thread. Chicks 1,3 and 4 are indeed white birds not BS and chicks 6 and 8 are indeed Black Shoulder. These are out of Eros and by getting BS chicks he also has to be split BS. From the chicks he produced so far we now know him as IB split white split BS. The Purple BS hen is split white.
Below is a close up of her feathers just in case some want to call her a boy
Below is her sisters and a couple (2 a white and a pied) brothers but there are a few more girls still in the basement LOL
