This cage of 2 black hens are quite content together and to share the 2 chicks that have hatched so far. I noticed that the small yellow chick was hopping around sideways - or lopsided. When I picked it up, I noticed that one of its wings were deformed or injured (not sure I didn't see it hatch or see if something happend to it) I thought, oh well, this one won't make it...so I put it under one of the hens and prayed for the best. Well, over the past 2 days or so, this chick has been getting along really well, eating and drinking fine. I decided to name it "Nemo" because of the wing - like Nemo's fin. Here are a few pictures.
Isn't this cute! It was cold this morning today. When I stuck my hand under to grab "Nemo" it was super warm under this hen.
Nemo! How cute! I have 5 eggs due to hatch under our Mama hen today, I can't wait to see who contributed the eggs and which roo is their daddy!
ReplyDeleteBet Nemo makes it just fine. Could it be from the hen not turning the eggs enough? I don't know just guessing.
