A very colorful Easter Basket!!

Do I see a silkie right there in the midddle?

No problem--All the more reason to roll the eggs around to a variety of locations in a still air-- no problem-- always a solution . . . . .

look on craigslist find a compute repair guy. They are HORDERS ask if he will sell you some computor fans. They usually have boxes of they. I bought mine 3 for $5. when I had LGs.... They usually have volt reducer too. If not go to your local junk store they will have them for a $1 or so. I think it was a 12 volt. but not sure I know some here will know.... Easy to install I did it......seemed to help my hatches....

Question. What do you feed your chicks? Do you give them the non, or medicated chick feed..or, do you give them chick feed at all..just start them on what you are already giving the flock.
Would be interesting to see what folks do. I hear some say they do not believe in medicated feed for their babies.
Broodies, may be different, as they are most always out and about finding the food for their little ones, unless, you have them in a run. Then what do you feed the babies. I've already seen egg added to feed for the broody mom and babies..great idea!
I personally do believe in the medicated chick feed.

Quote: Will it eat or drink on its own, or is unable because it falls over? You can try the sav a chick, might need to use an eyedropper to feed it. If its wry neck the baby vitamins is the treatment I know of that might work. You can search for other treatments. Also, since it recently hatched it should be able to live off it's yolk, so maybe someone else will see it and have another idea.

I would tape those little legs down. It looks like it is actually doing pretty good moving around like it is. Those legs want to be .. up! Take them like you would a splayed leg. Put her in a cup for a full day, then take the tape off, see how she's doing. If she isn't flaying all around, but doing the paddle walk..on the bum..then she will get the hang of walking..that's if, it's just a leg problem I really am not sure I see a neck problem. ??

Well I had one hatch while I was at work a Modern game Bantam and another one one it's way

are these from your flock or did you buy them? I have been searching for modern game bantams, preferably in birchen.

Quote: What I'm seeing is it's head tucked down into its chest causing it to roll over, it's head/neck just doesn't look right to me, the head isn't lifted up.
