Way to go, Penny!
I went in the brooder room with the intentions of getting pics of the newest and the battery was low.

Here are some of the chicks. Too bad I didn't have any blue eggs for the photos.

Precious!

This one looks like a 'Butch' (not to say it looks male, but 'attitude-ish').

Lisa, the chick that we helped to hatch has deformed feet.

Is there anything to do to help it?

hope this helps.. scroll down to "chick shoes"

does the right foot have a "hump" or it the chick just standing a bit odd on it?.. I cant tell from the pic

Thanks for the link, Yinepu! Yes, chick shoes should help straighten it out, the poor little one.


These NN chicks are the only ones of the 26 from last weeks hatch I got a pic of:

Lisa, those chicks are so adorable!!!


I made the shoes, but it's hard for the chick to get around. I hope it works. Thanks for everyone's advice.

walmart sells bumpy rubbery shelf liner.. i love that stuff for helping chicks get their legs under them.. dunno if it will help with chick shoes... but couldn't hurt to try..

quail babies on the shelf liner with paper towels underneath it
