Looking good, Prime!

I took my OB training in a hospital that had an intensive preemie care unit next door to the regular nursery. They had a sign hanging near the door that said "WE MAY BE LITTLE. BUT WE ARE MIGHTY'

Some could be said for little Prime.

That is so true. Thank you. I swear he's made me go through many revelations this past week. I have been amazed at how something so tiny could be so big. With all you guys' well wishes and my family's as well, I believe that that good energy was sent straight his way. I'm trying to hatch one more chicken egg(and a few ducks), because I want two cross breeds from my own flock and then I'm done because I just can't keep losing them and having them go through this weak stage. But, he definitely has given me some new life.

He's looking okay today. Getting pasty butt which I clean and oil up everyday. But he has a hard knot under his belly near the back right leg? It doesn't seem to hurt him when I push it and it has some give..any ideas? Is it normal?

I can't really tell much about the knot, but that ugly sore needs some major treatment.

Is the knot at the point where the yolk was drawn into its body? They aren't always perfectly centered.

Lol i know it happened while digging dirt in the run a few days ago ..smh. but, it might be a bone. Anything I see on him I check the other ones to see if they have the same thing but it is on the side of his belly button..and bigger.

Lol don't hurt yourself.

Umbilical hernia?

Here he is getting pecked back today lol. I took him out for bit to check him nd have him snuggle with me nd the others started crying for him. One flew to the top of the box and sat up there tweeting for him. Awwee lol. So I brought them over. I decided to name the bigger one Ghost and the smaller one Night.
