Bought 6 hatching Vorwerk eggs, 4 of which were fertile, unfortunately only 3 hatched, then 1 died 
, which left 2, came back from work yesterday and checked on the little cheepers, I could only find 1, they were in there own shed with adoptive silkie mum. I had a rabbit hutch on the floor in the shed and one of the chicks had somehow wedged itself between the back of the hutch and the shed wall, poor thing was stone cold and I couldn't see it breathing, it was completely limp and I assumed it was dead, popped it on the floor while I shut the other chick and mum in the hutch, and when I picked it up it opened it's eye for a split second!! I ran like a loony indoors with it cupped in my hands praying for it to live! I wrapped it in a flannel and walked about trying to get it warm, after 20 mins or so I started to hear the odd little cheep cheep from it, and after 1 1/2 hours it was able to walk so popped it back with mum, and I am now pleased to say that both chicks are thriving!
Sorry it's so long but I can't believe how close it came to being put in the bin!
When there were 3.
