October Hatch-A-Long?

It’s getting ready to snow here in a few days, so I had to do something to protect my poor broody duck from the rain and snow blowing in under the awning.

While there is nothing wrong with splinting to be sure, I find that the feet often straighten on their own by day two. Sometimes three.
I’m only mentioning it, because sometimes it’s just too hard to splint such a tiny foot!

It WAS hard. I admit I was thinking about waiting, but it was clearly having such a hard time moving around that I was afraid it wouldn't be able to eat and drink when it needed to.

Thanks good to know in case it happens to me.

Omg

So one of our littles got shrink-wrapped in, and we ended up assisting her starting 36 hours after she'd started (she'd zipped about halfway before she got stuck). She got all the way out this morning, but her pooor little toes have been stuck all curled up, so we just now splinted her feet. Those bantam toes are TEENIE TINY. Now she has band-aid snowshoes on.

What a cutie

My early pipper made it out after a long day of patient waiting. It was quite a struggle for her and I'm so relieved. Here she is coming out of the wrong end of the egg.

Is anyone else hatching today?

I put mine on lock down this morning! They're only on Day 17, but I'm thinking the OEGB will hatch early! Maybe the bantam Ameraucanas too. My quail started hatching yesterday!
