I spent all evening devising ways to help Cornish (I told DH if she/he makes it, her name will be Derpy 
) and Frankenchicky stand up, since all they do left to their own devises is topple over and roll around. I had a mess in the bathroom floor of pipe cleaners, glue, tape, scissors, felt, craft sticks, kiddo's toy cars and pieces I yanked off them lol.
Here's what I settled on for Cornish. It looks like some kind of torture device, but she actually seems happier in it vs spending most of her time on her back and she can actually walk if she tries.
I tried a lot of contraptions for Frankenchicky to find what helped her/him/it move best.
We tried a small-scale version of Cornish's Derpmobile, unsuccessfully. Frankenchicky just wanted to lie flat..:
We tried a sled, unsuccessfully. It was a bit heavy for her to move:
Then we tried a baby walker-style, much better:
Made a few minor adjustments, and we have the special kids nursery:
The two curly-toes quail joined the others. Took the tape shoes off and they worked perfectly - no curly toes! And the fav girls gave me one more egg today that I tossed in the bator with the other one. I can manage a one-day difference if they turn out to be fertile.
Not that anyone needs a daily-life update, just thought someone might be interested in the chick-mobiles/wheelchairs/carts/things.
I probably should just start a thread for Frankenchicky and Derpy..
