Just those 3 hatched yesterday. None today. The Dork O, and the NN from my flock are doing good. They are eating and drinking already. The Dork X will probably be culled tomorrow. It's the smallest one and won't open neither of it's eyes, and doesn't want to eat or drink. It only want's to sleep, and when it does get up, it's like a sleepwalker running into thing's. I have tried taking a wet paper towel to it's eye's to try to help it open it's eyes, but that hasn't worked.

Edit: Hubby was going to take out the trash now, so I went ahead and culled the Dork X chick.

Sometime's, thing's just aren't right with them when they hatch. It's hard, but you have to do what is best. Since both eye's were involved in that one chick and it would not be able to find it's own food and water, I figured that it was best to cull. It would have had to live a lonely life if I had not, since I wouldn't have been able to use it for future breeding.
