I want to thank Marie for the extra care she does in packing her eggs. They were so good packed that I couldn't get the eggs out of the bubble wrap, lol

Your welcome.

I'm wondering if my little disabled chick was unable to get out of the shell because of a leg deformity instead of being stuck in the shell causing the leg problem. She stil isn't straightening out...

To make matters worse, I think she is the only pullet, and the other two are roos...

Seems like Murphy's Law, doesn't it? So sorry! What is wrong with her leg?

Does she waddle on her hocks like a frog that wont straighten it's legs?

Quote: Sounds like dislocated hips which is very hard to repair because they counstancely dislocate and have to be put back in place, I hate to say it, but unless the legs can be hobbled the best thing for the chick would be to cull it. I tried saving one of mine and as it grow older and had to place its weight on his legs the problem got worst. Wish I could help more, do you have a picture - it might not be as bad as I'm picturing it. I just fixed one that had one hip dislocated.

Been stalking the WYGS for awhile now and thought I would say hello.

I have three 4 week old chicks to my name and would love to get my hands on some Welsummer eggs. Who do I have to stalk? Lol

Welcome to WYGS! We love having people join in with us. Congrats on your three 4 week old chicks, but you know we are nosey here and like to see pictures.

I have Wellies, but they have decided to siesta for awhile till the weather straightens out here. We've gotten 1.5 ft of snow two weeks in a row, to add to the amount that was already on the ground. Very unusual, even for Minnesota. My chickens are not impressed with the drifts in their runs. Crazy, crazy Spring!
