They grow so fast. They look so cute perched up there!

Kind of looks like the hiney of a layer to me! :lol: Positive thinking. What color is this one's leg band?

You got a 4 leg chicken!!! WOW!!! :gig

Happy Mother's Day!

It IS contagious! 🤣 :jumpy:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy

I really believe sometimes the girls start hearing peeping and if any are having "mama" thoughts it can put them over the edge. Not always but on more than 1 occasion I've had 1 girl hatch babies and within a week or so other girls start clucking, puffing up, etc. Coincidence? Maybe. I let 3...

Sometimes chicks peeping can start something.

LC needs a step stool. :) Sometimes I need a step stool! :D

Just a guess. 🫣 I think purple, blue, black are boys. Green and LC are girls. :fl My first hatch was with a broody. 3 boys 1 girl. Second hatch was also with a broody. I think there were 8 babies. 5 boys and 3 girls. :idunno

Before you know it Martha will have them on the roost! Chicks grow so fast. :jumpy

I am so sorry! :hugs

It is so cute to see babies climbing all over Mom! :love

Sorry, I meant to say hold the syringe of water/vitamin drops in your hand to warm it up a bit before giving. It was chilly this morning. I was thinking the drops may have felt cold to her, hence caused her reaction.

The trouble holding its head up could be a symptom of wry neck. If she (I'm calling it a "she" :fl ) has wry neck the vit e/b complex should help. Maybe she is surprised by the droplet on her beak? its new to her? Lot's of new stuff in a new short life? Was it cool? Maybe hold it tightly in...

I have used this remedy several times in juvenile and adult birds but wasn't sure on the dosage for a tiny baby so I did not advise. Thank you. Good to know for the future. I am always learning something new on this site! :) @fuzzi Hope LC has a much better day, today! :fl

Yes, syringes work great. For a chick I just put a tiny drop at a time on the tip of the baby's beak and they smack it right down. *** Warning...it is just too cute when they smack it down! 🥰

I agree. Do you have anything like Nutridrench? or a little sugar water? Just a little might help the little chick out.

I hope the little one is OK. Maybe it stayed out from Mama a bit long and got chilled?

Martha on a mission! So precious! Love it! :love

I'm not 100% sure but I think... Solid colored roo x Barred hen is a sex linked cross. Boys chicks will have a head spot and feather out barred. Girl chicks have no head spot (or a tiny neat spot) and feather in with no barring. I also think the genes associated with yellow legs is dominate...
