    We think so. We found her wandering on a county road when she was 4 mths old. Noone claimed her so she has been with us since then.

    HELP baby butt exposed

    She did not make it. She could move feet and wings but not her head. At least she was warm and safe. Thank you for the advice but I think she was doomed from the beginning.

    I put the box on top of heat and in the box is a fluffy towel with a thin towel on top of box. Just checked and she stretched out her little leg. I feel sorry for her. What a rough start if she makes it.

    HELP baby butt exposed

    I put her in the spare bedroom where we can keep eye on her and have a towel on top of the box. We closed vent so no ac. I really do not think she will make it but she is breathing evenly, not labored.

    HELP baby butt exposed

    I just put her in a box nested in towels and she is in the garage. It is very warm out there and if nothing else at least she will be comfortable when she goes. Poor little thing. Thank you all for your advice. Now we wait and see what mother nature will decide.

    Momma has a fit when I go near the baby. She did take some of the translucent off. I removed the rest but left what I think is the umbilical.

    This pic I just took. I have never seen one fresh from the egg so do not know what is normal. While getting ready to take this the broody took a bit of the translucent stuff off.

    HELP baby butt exposed

    My chick is out of the shell and her butt is free and her beak is out but head is still in the translucent stuff. She had split the eggshell around 12 or 1 this afternoon and it is now 530. Is it time to panic or let her finish on her own?
