I also kept them air cell straight up for the first day I had the eggs. The next day I put them in the incubator for 4 days air cell slightly up with no turning. All the air cells stabilized.

It's actually plastic that's just thick enough. I like that there were floor panels too so it's sturdier...
The chicks were in the biggest tote we had which was super tiny for them. They are 2.5 weeks old now. I started noticing the poop on the puppy pad was surrounded by big wet spots. Then there were 2 little poops with blood in them. Same morning we gave them Corid water (2tsp in a gallon) and...
I believe possibly the other 7 would've hatched but the night the last chick and 7 eggs were in the incubator I made some mistake and it said the temp was only 96 :hit8 days later I finally turned off the incubator and opened one of the eggs. Saw the fully formed chick and didn't open any more...
My baby chick can't stand up regardless of all we've done, so he is in a chick chair. He is still too weak to get the food and water in the chick chair. He acts like it's hard to breathe sometimes and all he's getting is what I feed him in a syringe. I can see the hock bone and the Achilles...
Has anyone had success treating an infected hock in a tiny chick? She also has spraddle leg and slipped tendon/twisted tibia, but unless the infection can be eliminated I don't know if she will even survive.

She has diahhrea and is weak for a few days once every two weeks. We bring...

13 baby chicks! Three of them made big holes in the shell and stopped. Pretty soon they got shrink wrapped and gluey and stuck. I admit to helping each one out. But one had curly toes and splayed legs so this is what I did for her. One of her leg joints seems bigger than the other but she...
This morning we got I the rest of the way out. It was glued inside . It is inside the incubator now and looks fine but definitely weaker than the others.
