My first thought when I saw the last of our Easter hatch in the incubator was that she wasn't going to make it. There was blood everywhere.
But she kept cheeping and moving around the incubator, so I said "well if you're going to try, I'll try too". I cut a few bandaids down and mom held her upside down while I applied them. I tried to put pressure on the bleeding navel as I did it, but with chick down the bandaid did not go on half as tight as I wanted. But then of course we couldn't move it with it stuck to her down.
I didn't think to get a picture before applying the bandaid.
Her navel is simply bleeding, no organs protruding, as if she pulled away from the egg too soon.
She's back in the incubator by herself on some paper towel and still moving around, cheeping. The bandaid isn't holding very well and I can see some blood on the pad from the side :/
I wish we had something better to put on there!
