    The chick’s legs are doing something that other animals can have (I don’t know if chickens or birds in general can get this) called Swimmer Syndrome, where the legs go out to the side. Using therapy and tools to move them inwards is the best way to fix that when they’re young, because their bones are still flexible. So glad that you guys are taking such good care, even though they were fragile and many of them passed away. :)

When they started getting over the 3 foot barrier and hanging around the bedroom, they had to go outside. Wish I was back in the country, I really miss the animals.

    Okay, I bawled when you whistled that chick back to alertness. You are such a caring bird owner, I love how much passion you have towards your birds and how much you care for every single one of them.

    Great video as always guys. I'd like to make a suggestion for your incubator. The plastic material used in the baskets in your incubator is extremely slippery for newborn birds, you can see in the video they can't get any grip to stand. When you stop rotating the eggs, place some sort of an anti slip mat (rubber placemats work wonderful) under the eggs in the incubator when they start to pip. This will prevent splayed leg, and enable the chicks to be mobile faster so they are able to move around better to feed and water themselves, so they don't get so weak. I always place the heat source directly above my chicks so they don't have a choice to go without heat for the first few days. After that you can move the heat source to one side or the other enabling them to move in and out of the heat if they so desire. Good luck guys!

    I’ve done the same thing in the situation of the weak keet, as farmers it’s our job to take care of our animals to give them the best chance at life. So nice to see another caring person with their babies! Good work, just another reason I fully support your channel. ❤️

    That was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time. We've hatched and raised Guinea's. They are extremely fragile as chicks. As adults, you have to watch their legs. They are not like chicken's legs, they are a little brittle. Have fun and enjoy the guinea noise. Personally, I love the sound of guineas.

    Awww, another cute video. I'm so sorry that most of those eggs and chicks didn't make it. I am happy about Fivel making it though. I hope I spelled that name right, hee hee. The American Tail was such a cute movie and Fivel a cute little hero mouse. I saw that movie with my daughter when she was little, and now she is going to be 38 in November.
    Anyway, congrats on little Fivel surviving. Your whistles let him know he wasn't alone and encouraged him to keep fighting to live. Awesome!
    Congratulations again on your new baby!

    I rekon it’s the incubator that’s causing the legs to do this. There legs are sliding and not able to grip the plastic bottom.

      @whitehouseonthehill  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Luke Cawley - we've hatched a number of birds in there and it's never caused splayed leg before. We last saw it with our pheasants but it was in a different incubator. I think some birds are more apt to get it than others.
