Slow but steady progress

Yes, the incubator is packed away now for this year and they are in a plastic bin. I tried taking a picture through it but it didn't turn out. Tomorrow I'll take them out and get a new photo.

You always know what to do, and we'll be looking forward to the picture. Edie, are these 2 the last 2 that hatched? I *think* so??

Thanks flkatz and PJ. These two are now out of the little incubator and into a bigger box with a heat lamp above it. It gives them more room to move about and I can leave bigger food and water dishes in there with them. Will try and get a picture soon.

Oh dear - so cute, the little one looks so fragile, and I'm glad the are signs of it's getter better,
PJ

Great news. :)

Thanks everyone. They are both up and walking, well sort of. The older one has his brace off and the younger one has one on. I'll post an update on them later.

Hope they're doing wonderfully this morning Edie. So precious!

Life is amazing... In just hours they're up and ready to take on the world.... Go little Chickie.... ｡◕‿◕｡ ｡◕‿◕｡

Dr. Edie Ortho to the rescue...

Boy Jiggy, that's so true, isn't it, especially in these little guys lives, and thanks again Edie!

Such a difference a day makes! :))

Well the best thing about it is that they're quiet Kathy. The two singletons before them peeped non stop and for that reason I was quick to put them outside. I'll decide tomorrow what to do with these two.

Yes, even now as I'm looking at him I can see changes again Lorna.

Well he's up and wobbling Ardy, but it's a start. Glad that you enjoy the updates.

Awww! I love how it's looking up at the bigger chick!!

Great to see their progress Edie. Thank you.

S/He's up and almost running, Edie. I hope he'll be OK. Really cute. Amazing the difference of what about 48 hours makes in their size. Thanks. I love the chicken updates.

Yes, I might be your brother, or maybe your sister. Hurry up and get on your feet so we can go find us a family. Thanks Ank.

Awww, he is looking so much better now. A sweety☺
Are you my big brother? Where is mom?
Love it.

Yes jyl, it's looking good for this one. Like I said from the four that I helped out of the eggs he was in the best condition. I tape if their legs are too far apart and toes pointing out to the side. Sometime taping for just 12 hours will right them. The earlier you tape the shorter the time that it needs to be left on.

Yes it is Barb. He's not quite there yet with his balance but hopefully he'll be ok without having his legs taped. I'm so happy there's two of them as well. I won't feel the need to rush them outside as I did with the first two who were all alone.

All right!! Looks like another survivor. Congrats, we hope.

If you have to go into orthopedics, when do you tape legs, Edie?

Amazing how different they look in such a very short period of time. The little one is looking much better ... nice they have each other for company at the moment. Thanks, Edie! :-)
