Nope. Worrying. First one's dead. Squashed flat ~ though to be fair I was dubious from the outset. The chick looked weak & sickly rather than robust, so perhaps not all Cobweb's fault. Still 3 under her but not sure if they're viable.So exciting!
Hopefully she'll do better with the others still under her.Oh no, I'm sorry, that's so sad!
I hope so!
Thanks. I'm still new @ this too but these bantams are chronic broodies so figured best let them sit seeing they insist.
My bantams raised a lot of babies. They were completely free range in our yard. That was over 30 years ago. They are actually good little mamas.
My Wyandotte bantam has done a brilliant job with her one chick ~ but she's an older hen & her chick always looked strong.
You know she probably didn't do anything wrong. Sounds like the chick just wasn't healthy.
I'm sorry that happened. Very sad.She didn't. One squashed baby when I got home from shopping.
I'm not a cat, I'm a fur muff!
