I am assisting a teacher with her classroom hatch. We have 5 hatched, healthy, and running around. We removed them from the incubator this morning because they were ganging up on and pecking a struggling chick, and have been since Sunday. I need help with this chick! It seems to be stuck with the shell on its back, and its legs are splayed in separate directions. It can squirm, but not get up. How do I help this chick? It has been this way since at least Sunday at 4:00 PM EST.
Any idea on what to do? It's been a couple days now so I'm assuming it's time to intervene. You can kind of see one other egg in the bottom left that has pipped but it hasn't progressed from that stage since yesterday afternoon, so we think it may have passed away.
Any advice on either of these is appreciated! I did bring some tweezers, coconut oil, q-tips, and a syringe today in case any of that could be of help.
