"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

Just in case anyone was following: Update on chick with leg issue (I tried to keep this short and sweet as this is an incubating thread not injury thread)
I treated as if she had straddle leg ... I taped her feet in shoes....I removed these the braced her leg.
I have been giving her vitamins and electrolytes in a dropper. She is eating and drinking hardily on her own though.
This morning her leg was slightly improved. So, we are continuing vitamins, electrolyte, and monitoring.


Also, I see A TON OF PEOPLE have their noses pressed the 'bators today watching hatchings. CONGRATS to all!!!! I love reading the updates, photos, and learning from your questions and experience.

Glad to hear she's improving. You are always welcome to share any type of chicken news here.

Good luck on all those hatching. I think we are right on the heels of all the "LOST" Easter Eggs!

I just saw it on Pinterest looking for something completely unrelated. SO FUNNY!!! I hope we can hide some eggs under a broody next year for sure!

I am out. My incubator ran away yesterday and cooked the eggs, quail, OE's and SFH. I am going to take a break. I think I will save up money for a new incubator before I hatch again. I don't even have any tears, just numb. My washing machine decided to flood the kitchen too. Bad day for appliances. The only bright spot is that my Bantam Wyandotte girl started laying, a beautiful pale pink egg.

That sucks!! I'm so sorry.
