thanks for all the help!!! After staying up ALL NIGHT stopping bleeding and shaking and warming up this sweet little thing i FINALLY have a little chickie that has dryed and been put in the brooder with his brothers and sisters... he wasnt walking at all in the incubator but seems to be catching...
just saw your posts ... thanks for the advice... the chick hatched on his own but unfortunately had a bloody navel and curled toes... ive stopped the bleeding from his navel and wrapped him in a dry washcloth straight out of the dryer for about 5 minutes so he wouldnt get it bleeding again...
ive never seen ANYTHING like this.. he's been picking away at shell and membrane for 4 hours but he cant move the back side... its bleeding slightly at the edge of his bottom and above wing... should i just leave him like this over night????
I have no idea what to do... its almost as iff he's eating the membrane away and he cant reach the back side of the egg... he's been at this for 4 hours... def. not a normal zip... where he bit right above the wing its bleeding slightly so im scared to help.... ADVICE???
he has almost half of his shell off and still cant get out... its like half his body is stuck to the membrane and shell... but since its bleeding at his butt im scared to help him.... do you think the yolk is absorbed by day 23?? im a first timer....
