Hi Lora, The only baby that survived from Mama Japanese was little Grindyl the crippled one! I have been keeping him (or her) in a bird cage and its doing really well! Its learning how to get along with only one leg and so far one good wing! But its so healthy otherwise! I just couldnt put it down! We even came up with a Pipecleaner stand for it so it can keep its head in an upright position until it can get strong enough on its own! It gets itself to water and food by itself now! Knowing I just cant keep him dependant on me for survival, I have tried a different approach. I placed him in the nest under the Silkie mom that just hatched her little brood .....Well She took him right in and so far everything is fine!
You can see Little Grindyl here up under Mama!
