Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Do you mean that they peck at him a bit and run over him? If he is getting pushed around a bit and you are worried about it try dividing your brooder in two with a bit of mesh or something and the heat lamp over the middle. Put the last hatched one and the next quietest/smallest one in together and the other two on the other side, just till the little one has had a chance to grow a bit for a couple of days. He still needs company and it's best that it's ducky company.

Well, cracker is grabing him and draging him across the brooder. It is kinda scaring me. And im kinda disopointed in cracker. its suprising how srong he is though

And what do you mean SM? "I know what your doing" what am I doing?

Mine are starting to get stinky. I'm going to have to move them. I think I'm going to try to make them a diaper. How crazy am I.

But seriously my daughter loves to get them out at night when the little ones (3 and 1) go to bed. And it never fails there some poo poo on the floor. I have wood floors so it's easy to clean, but Beaker's poo poo's are starting to get bigger and not as cute.

I need to take another pic.

I'm rambling..

OMG!!! I keep calling him BUNKER!! I really named him BUNSEN!! Like Beaker and Bunsen on the muppets, or Beaker and bunsen burner.

But I keep saying BUNKER!? AHH! I might have to rename it.
