21 chicks from 22 eggs. 18 were cockerels so we fed them to the snakes. Hopefully we'll get three decent laying hens.

Is 4:1 the best ratio for overall survival of the species or is that the best for our controlled raising and breeding purposes? It would make sense that more males would be produced in order for them to compete, ensuring only the strongest roosters would be breeding and taking care of the flocks. In the grand evolutionary scene of things, our manipulation of chickens has only a tiny blip of time.
HELP!!! One of my chicks won't/can't walk properly... He can't seem to stand up strait, Like he is using his entire leg to walk, He seems to get around OK, Im a bit worried... What should I do, The other chicks seem alright, One is a bit sluggish but that one hatched about and hour or two ago
Does he have a club foot? If so, I fixed my baby chicks foot by helping it stand and forcing the toes to stretch out.. hope this helps.guys i need to know!

Hey, thanks. I'll look into that. This is my second SS hatch, and it was way better than the first, but still not very good. I think they're more picky than the others I have better luck with. It's good to know it's not just me.
