put the chick in a cup upright to force its legs under it and close to where they should be, thats a baby food container in the image, or you can try a narrow tapper bottom tea cup to force legs under it, are its legs messed up? why does it look like that? That chick doesnt look right at all, is it the image?

I tilted it on its side for the picture.... she has been laying on her belly with her feet under her.... i righted her directly after her photo shoot lol

I still dont get your hatch woman, I am thinking either your thermostat is taking a poo or your thermo/hygro are. Some of us had a tough time over winter with this dumb weather, most of us only had good hatches running completely dry, but your not on our coast so not sure what went wrong, and then you had the mia eggs!! good grief, and then the splatter eggs from usps!! very weird!!

Yeah, nice luck I've been having,,geez, didn't think about it all put together like that!! Well..the MIA are very viable..almost all of them..but those air sacs are scary!! To say the least! Half way up the side on most of them. Trying to figure out if I am going to just go ahead and try helping by the end of day 20. Will see if i get any pips..if not..then, yeah, going in.
And guess what? Candled all 6 of the eggs that I saved from the smushed mess..and all 6 have started. Now, if they will keep going. They were pretty messy, and I had to gently wash, and gently wipe with a paper towel.. Maybe my luck is going to change? She said she was going to send more, I told her not to write anything on that box! Someone has too much time on their hands at one of the P.O.'s out there on the way from there to here. Good Grief!
