ok, so i'm gonna do this again.... I just ordered 12eggs, mostly buff w/ a couple white, hatch a long here I come!
on another horrible note one of my chicks has scissor beak, just literally makes me tear up every time I think about it... just noticed it last night. of all the threads i've read it sounds horrible and is gonna get worse.
of course this chick is the first one hatched from my last batch, and also the one who runs right up when I open the pen. My son's favorite cuz it's the "oldest" (he's 6, my son) chicks turned 1 week old on tuesday. my only partridge too.

Eek sounds dreadful! Keep warm! If the storm lets up you better get out there and snap some pictures for all of us!
Thanks for echoing my excitement lol!woohoo for lockdown!!!! exciting! what do you have in there? or how many???
In my first incubator I've got 14 silkie eggs, a mix of red and splash and in my second incubator (due to hatch the following week) I've got a dozen Coturnix quail eggs. I am going to be over run with babies soon!
I will! I'll probably take pics tomorrow cause I don't lifting the broody while eggs are hatching
. This weather really is awful…I wish I had more heat lamps. For my other broodies I put flannel sheets over there cages to keep their body heat in. But they are in a shed so they are out of the wind and the rainOh no poor babyok, so i'm gonna do this again.... I just ordered 12eggs, mostly buff w/ a couple white, hatch a long here I come!

Is it really bad? Does he eat or drink on his own?- Thread starter

he still eats and drinks on his own, this just pretty much developed over night, it is crazy. after reading all the threads on this I was totally depressed. I guess it will be what it will be, sure is tough though. have heard of people having them until they're 2 or older, but it sounds like (the threads I've read) that they eventually starve. how sad to watch.I will! I'll probably take pics tomorrow cause I don't lifting the broody while eggs are hatching
Oh no poor baby
Personally, if he is eating and drinking I would let him be. Of course if he wasn't I couldn't let him suffer but it doesn't sound like he is doing too badly right now
I have 3 chicks hatched now!! Last time I candeled I had 3 eggs I knew were good and 3 maybes so now just gotta see if any more hatch. I got pics but they aren't very good
