Chick emergency again…
This chick pipped yesterday morning. Made no progress during the day or night (where as the other one hatched at night)
It made no progress today and seemed to have trouble doing any zip. So I helped it out by making a zip but not breaking the Membrane.
This chick was so badly shrink wrapped it was unbelievable. It started pushing once I made the zip but its airsack was glued to it.
Once I had gotten it broken free I wanted it to rest for a bit, but it started screaming because its egg was stuck to its butt. Which again took a while to get it free of the chicks body.
Now I notice a problem:
Its very active, cheeping, eyes open, but what the heck is this?? It smudges bright pink blood..i’ve put it in a warm damp paper towel in the brooder but its not staying still…
I dont know what to do..
