Help! What do I do for this baby? It hasn't gotten up to walk around at all since I helped it get out of the carton. Do I put it in a sling? It moves around by tossing itself but it needs to walk. HELP!

I am sorry about your chick...........Take a washcloth ,twist it to form a donut shape, put the little one in the middle to prop it up.

I hate saying this but you need to be prepared that it may not make it. Sometimes there are problems we cannot see.
Then again, who knows. I always try. You know to keep it warm.....That's about all that can be done right now......It does not need food or water if it has just hatched. 'Sending hugs and blessings.

Hello folks I really need some encouragement. I want to purchase some eggs from ebay and . This is something I have done several times before with NO success. I have never had the first egg hatch. I am looking to purchase eggs Maran and I do NOT think it was the person's fault I purchased the eggs from but rather my post office. The boxes the eggs were sent in were crushed or had objects pushed through the top which resulted in several eggs being broken.

What luck have you had with mailed eggs?

I had 12 out of 13 cream legbars hatch yesterday. So far 1 rhodebar of 6 with one pip. And 1 pip of 15 marans that were set 2 days later than the creams.

I currently face the same dilemma. My eggs shipped well, and 6/7 were fertile. But only 3 made it into incubation and only 1 hatched. However it may not make it afterall. So I face the same issue. Do I buy more shipped eggs? Or do I just try to find them locally, and preferably freshly hatched? I keep hearing mailing is so hard on eggs. I can't keep throwing money away and going through the whole 3 week process with no chicks to show for it.

Those are great numbers! How do you incubate. I think I need to switch my method up.
