18 Happy healthy busy baby chickens

I basically just keep food and water out all day. But I like to make them a little power snack in the middle of the day that they'll easily wipe out and no more than 10 minutes just for the nutrition.

Well I meant germs by like putting chopped up scrambled eggs and stuff like that that sit there all day and don't get eaten. I try to keep my little power meals small enough they devour it and don't spread it all over the brooder so it turns to a D-rated kitchen 🤣

My 18 children💗

Okay so I've always, since about 2 years in done medicated chick food. But I'm doing some reading on here and I'm understanding how useless that is before they are exposed to the environment it helps with. And it makes sense considering what I already know. So now I'm trying this. I'm starting...

It finally died for good the next day. It was wonky from the beginning and was just failing to thrive. I did everything I could. But yeah it blew my mind too and I read about it and yeah they can appear dead from being hypothermic and come back after being warmed. But there was no way to stop...

HOOWW IS THIS BABY STILL ALIVE!? So I get up this morning and all the chicks are out because I moved them from what I call the crib to their big brooder. Apparently the little runt ran out with them but since they were busy running around instead of huddling on it it chilled. I found it laying...

Well I have 19 out of 22 chicks. The last one didn't hatch.

I put it in there a couple hours short of two days after the others. Last one pipped around 5:30 two days ago. 🤞🏼

Nothing yet😩

The little runt is doing better after all the syringe reading. Even came out and ate by itself this morning. Fingers crossed for a pip on that last egg today

The little one seems to be getting tiny bits of strength each time I take it out. I try to keep it under 5 minutes and just get some sustenance in. I'm going to assume it's like wildlife rehab and every 1 to 3 hours is crucial at first. And I guess that's the best I can do. The little bag turned...

It was almost but not quite 48 hours after the others

Yes, the one still in the bator. Not hatched, this one's the end of the hatch except the one still going

Also, first time using this. It smells really good but it seems really hard. I've been soaking it to start out.

❤️ The little runt, and I mean half the others size, is hanging in there and I want to say perking up a tiny bit (it stands up, opens its eyes and protests finally)...🤞🏼

Okay so I had chicks hatch yesterday. One still had an empty yolk sack attached and brownish fluid in the egg. It's definitely not as peppy as the others. I've read this could be an infection? What would the dosage of amoxicillin be for a newborn baby chick?

The last one out came a couple hours after everyone else. It had been pipped for a while and it finally started to zip. The membrane looked weird to me. But it looked like it was coming out. Until one knocked it to the side. There was some sort of orangish brown juice in it. It's mouth started...
