Does that black one in the middle have a naked tush or is it not finished drying? Sorry that your little guy gave up. Good luck on your other two pippers!
He started standing and walking around this morning. :)
I have had a lot of learning experiences since starting in with farm animals. Too many sometimes. :-D I'm going to start giving my hens BOSS again. I was before, but just hadn't picked it up lately. I figure it doesn't hurt and they like it.
No splayed legs. The yellow one is walking around. The black is still sitting on its bottom, flailing its legs and wings about. I tried to put it in a chick cup, but it was freaking out and I didn't want to stress it more.
I posted more on my other thread, but here are the two chicks that made it. They are having some leg problems, but I'm working on it. I already gave them vitamins. They sure are pretty babies, but I'm going to have to think long and hard if I want to do this again. I definitely learned some very...
Thanks for the sympathy. How do the other three look? They pipped about 6 or so hours ago. I feel like they are doing good and there is a little condensation on the incubator, so I think the humidity is good. They are funny. When I cheer them on, they start pecking more. I really haven't been...

The first one to pip last night died. It was cheeping when I went to class at 9 and I didn't hear it at 1 when I got home. It pipped face down. I don't think it could turn in the egg because it was a small egg. Any other thoughts? Two more pipped and I'm worried for them. I put in a warm wet...
So one of my little eggs pipped a little bit ago. It's rocking around and peeping a bit. The other three aren't doing anything and I don't see pips on them. They were rocking last night and some today. Should I be worried they've stopped rocking without a pip? I know there's nothing much I can...
Thank you! This is my first time keeping a rooster (besides a little bantam I had), so I'm still learning how they work. I think my guy is 7 or 8 months old. He doesn't have any competition for his 13 ladies.
