to be honest I am a really upset because I don't now what to do . I have had chickens for years and dabbled a few times incubating. This year how ever I had two broody hens and a million eggs with a good heart I put twenty or so in the incubator.
The first ten or so hatched perfect but I have had three die in last few days . All three appear to have bad legs, The first looked like it was more a hip problem than splay legs and was a little fighter but after five or so days it went down hill and died. I have two that have looked sickly and have tried desperately to get them to drink they have been on the brink of death for a day or two and I feel god awful that these day old chicks are suffering.
Question is what would you do , is there any way I could still save them ??
vets not really interested
