***update*** babies-more PICS added

well, we have 10 chicks so far...along with 14 ducklings...1 duckling's leg is not right. Its waling (if you can call it that) on its little elbow (?) with the foot extended out in front. I know what has to be done,I think, b/c it can never live a normal life like this. Is there anything to help fix it that I should do? It hatched this morning and I wasn't home to watch if it had trouble or an injury during or after it hatched.
The chicks are 2 EE/Turken crosses, 1 EE/? cross, 2 Partirdge showgirls, 1 blue silkie, and 4 Secret Swap babies from the April swap. Here are pix....

Aren't they such cuties???
 
Thanks they are so sweet and soft...I'm having fun posing them and photographing them.

I've got my 2nd incubator almost ready to hatch- tonight is ending day 17 ...I'll take them out of the turner tomorrow night- and move some into bator #1 to finish incubating (they are on day 13)Someone sent me my batch of eggs late so they didn't go in together like they should have. I'll put those late ones into bator #1 with the new eggs in that one and label them (of course) so i can put them back into bator #2 when they are done turning in 5 more days. Hopefully some of the chicks will have hatched by that time in bator #2. I know,its confusing even to me. I tried to synch those shipments of eggs, but it just didn't work at the other end. So now I'll try to do the best I can with 2 incubators- with the other one only on day 2 now. I'll add new pix later this week to this thread probably- mostly all chickens this time...1 good Rouen duck egg, and 5 guineas in the late eggs bunch.
