I thought I'd do an update on my chicks!
The last one went back with Mama and its siblings, and is doing great! I ended up with 3 chicks out of 5 eggs (One didn't hatch, and the other got cracked early on.) two little silkie mixes, and one little easter egger mix!
Not to shame other hens...
Thank you! I'll try treat her I think. I have nutri-drench and I'll give her that. I definitely will try give her back to mom once shes strong. Thanks again!
I tried earlier, but the other chicks kept pecking her navel. Shes also not very mobile. The mom is super sweet, and has raised/adopted + raised 10-15 chicks, so I'm not worried about that. Plus, mama and chicks are already up and exploring and this chick wouldn't be able to keep up with them...
Thanks! It mostly came off, and I sniped the rest.
Me too! I was worried about her all night. She's standing up and peeping, so I plan on bringing her back to momma and siblings very soon! (once the navel clears up a bit, I'm worried momma might peck it)
I hatched 3 chicks with a broody hen, 2 black Silkie mixes and one easter egger mix (almost splash in color!)
P.s, what's happening here? She had a rough hatch. I wish I had before pictures, as it's gotten a lot smaller since last night. Thanks!
