We don't currently have an incubator - either breathing or not.
However, we plan to get probably one of those hovathingies in the near future. Perhaps with holiday gift $. I had barely finished the last syllable of your fertile eggs type when Spouse replied loudly WANT THEM! WANT THEM NOW! I had to remind her that we lack the important part of hatching eggs... LOL I have made note, however, and will likely annoy you when we have an incubator.
Getting her orthopedic boots fitted.
The deformed feet and the new orthopedic boots. Two hours old and getting around just fine.
This is exactly why when we have done rescue we charge $, usually around what an accident/injury would cost to treat at a reasonable vet. So in early 90s I charged around $100. We don't have a set-up currently appropriate for rescue (aside from any of our own breed) so don't do it currently, but if did right now, we'd probably charge around $175. Aside from checking references and their vet i feel like this shows that they can come up with that $ when they want to.
Thanks. I'm glad I didn't wait. As soon as she was dry I got these on her feet. (no clue if it's she or he. Just kinda of looks like a little girlie chick to me. I pre cut the bandaids and had them ready for her feet. Didn't want to over stress her or get her chilled. In the past if I had a chick with feet this twisted it would have been euthanized. A chicken that can't walk or roost from day one would have a cruel life. What surprises me more than her nifty little duck walk is the lack of interest the other chicks have in her boots. They were curious for a few minutes but now they just ignore them. I'm going to change them every day to check on the toes. As soon as it appears the toes look and spread normally, the boots come off.

My Pudge's eyes are a nice dark brown. Pengin's are a lighter, sort of golden brown. They're hatchery birds, so I suppose it's to be expected. But for the record, I still think they have lovely eyes.
A real Crazy Chicken Lady would take her gals for a run around Greenlake. You could get a big double jog stroller and tuck them in. In no time at all, you will become one of those "Seattle fixtures" featured in newspapers, and famous throughout the region-- like the guy who gives Spanish lessons near the pool at Greenlake. Is he still there?
