Nope. Worrying. First one's dead. Squashed flat ~ though to be fair I was dubious from the outset. The chick looked weak & sickly rather than robust, so perhaps not all Cobweb's fault. Still 3 under her but not sure if they're viable.So exciting!
Hopefully she'll do better with the others still under her.Oh no, I'm sorry, that's so sad!
I hope so!
Thanks. I'm still new @ this too but these bantams are chronic broodies so figured best let them sit seeing they insist.
My bantams raised a lot of babies. They were completely free range in our yard. That was over 30 years ago. They are actually good little mamas.
My Wyandotte bantam has done a brilliant job with her one chick ~ but she's an older hen & her chick always looked strong.
You know sher probably didn't do anything wrong. Sounds like the chick just wasn't healthy.
