TWO WEEKS

So they have been living peacefully for two weeks now. The small one has finally grown and gained the strength to move in with the others. They don't really mind him. At first they pecked at him, but once I changed the ground to pine shavings they were too distracted to even realize he was new.

They Hatched!!

So, all of my chicks have hatched and are doing pretty well. Three out of four of them hatched within 24 hours and have sucessfully ate and drank water. They last chick, the silkie bantam has had problems standing. It eats and is very strong and pushes it's way to do what it has to do, it just has a really hard time walking. I suspect it has a slight case of splayed leg syndrome, however I am going to give it until tomorrow to decide what to do for it.

Goodbye Turner!!!

Today marks the 18th day of incubation, this means that they will hatch in about three days!! I'm so egg-cited! The egg turner was removed and the eggs are now peacefully resting on their sides.
