Not sure what happened but it looks deformed. I've opened many eggs and never seen the organs look like that. The beak and head are very strange. I had one that did not hatch once . It was alive at lockdown but small. When I opened it up after it died it had no head.
I think I should have tried that when I first saw the intestines starting to come out. Now they are bigger and red. I'm sure the damage is done. Plus I don't want it to suffer. Next time I should try to tie it off first then cut it from the legs and hope for the best. It's always sad but...
Thanks! I just tied it off and cut it but I think I'm to late. It was moving around in the bator with the other chicks climbing on all the eggs and now it looks like it pulled out some intestines. Any chance they will suck back up?
Yes it is still attached to the naval area. It was wrapped tight around the feet. I managed to get the feet out but damaged it some. The chick was stiff on one side from drying out so I had to was it a bit in warm water. It's head is still very crusty but I don't want to stress it any...
I had 5 more pips after the ball dropped last night. When I got up this morning 1 was still about 1/3 zipped and had been that way for a few hours. It was all dried up so I went to help it and I found it's feet tied up by the yolk sack. No wonder it could not progress. I did my best to get...
Funny. I would never want to do this. To me it's to crowded, standing in the cold for hours and then trying to navigate back to where you came from.:rolleyes:
Thanks RavynFallen
I have yet to find a basket that fits but I keep forgetting to look. Here is the link to my video, it's long so you might not want to watch but it was a good hatch.
Ok I managed to post my video to YouTube but still waiting for it to process. I love all the funny posts you all post. And the cute chicks too. By the way my incubator is on the night stand next to my bed. I'm hoping I wake up for each chick so maybe I can band a few so I know which breeding...
My first just hatched. It was the second to pip. The first to pip still has not zipped. I cought it on a 25 minute video. Now how do I show it? I guess I have to put it on YouTube first. How do I do that?
