Pipped in wrong place

[Ms Biddy]

So happy for you!

It's not quite on it's feet, it's on its feet but not standing up but it's still looking good so we'll just give it time in the brooder. It's not at all like the Ines we had the last time which we're all floppy, and w have a 3rd pip in the right place this morning. I'm just going to check out how to do some physio for it just in case.

I’m too impatient. It’s doing great! I should not compare chicks!

This morning I get to have a happy straightforward hatch

 

[ScottyGill]

New chick, and the tiny little one I helped. It’s getting stronger on its legs and is managing to scoot about just fine. The first two are now cuddled up together. This has made me realise we were not hasty in culling two from our last hatch which were born with giant feet and couldn’t stand at all and the other chicks tossed it out and pecked at them. It was hard but we didn’t have the time or experience or facilities to try anything to help. We’re lifting this wee one up and letting go and it’s standing for longer and longer so we have time time to do that here. The two new ones are finding their feet at the same time but wee baby is still drying out. My husband took no 2 into brooder box as no 3 was chasing it. It’s a feisty wee thing
