scarlettohara Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Millie wyandotte is fine now, think she hadn't hatched long when I got home. They are all dry and fluffy now - but musn't put them in the brooder yet, that is right isn't it ? Another has started but nothing from the remaining 2.

scarlettohara Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Eating and drinking, someone pecked her toe (I suspect after the plaster) and made it bleed last night, soon stopped with wound powder and is now purple. I've ordered some proper spacers from ebay for her legs so hope they come today They are making a lot of noise atm - Teddy Wars - who can get closest to the teddy in their brooder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
