    Umbilical cord help

    Tonight my son and I bathed our little survivor who I had to help hatch a couple nights ago due to being shrink wrapped. He/she had some egg yolk sticking to his/her back and keeping the feathers clumped together which made the wings not movable. Some said he/she wouldn't make it due to some...

    Umbilical cord help

    Hatching was going great with multiple births until yesterday at 4pm a chick was pipping and tonight at 9pm seemed stuck in the shell and not making further progress (I believe from shrink-wrap) so I assisted the chick after researching how and now the chick has what looks like a thick cord...
