2020a

The chicks are growing so fast. Theyve been outsidein the cold and are doing well. Had a predator take one so down to 6 in first hatch.

20b a day old

All six hatched, the one who was upside down i had to assist hatch at midnight, she was stuck. Her feet are not developed properly.  I have tape on them to assist the ankle joint in strengthening. First week is essential in their development, so despite the look of defeat in her eyes while trying to learn to walk, i think she will make it ok.  They have been moved out of the incubator and into a bin inside. If the one with ankle problems does not adjust to the others expectations by 9 tonight,  ill give her a respite overnight back in the incubator so she can sleep and develop in peace for a couple more hours.

today 2-3-20 (hatch 2020b)

First out! Happy and content.
