    Urgent advice needed hatching chick

    Aw thank you! He's completely out of the shell, is alive and wriggling around a bit on his side but not looking too good 😔 almost looks like his wing is stuck on his one side, when I touched it whatever the goo is was rock solid and there's patches of that hard stuff all over him. He's warm and...

    I didn't pull that bit off as saw blood and didn't know what to do for the best. He's chirpping and wriggling around on its side at the moment. It's other side is very dry and shell looks stuck to it solid, shall I peel the rest of the shell off now?

    His head was stuck solid, membrane was rock hard around that area. Ive just peeled it bavk from around his head and over his eye and he's straightened out, he's breathing but not sure he will make it. It had pooed in its shell aswell and there was a bit of blood under its belly

    Sorry this looks gruesome my son just shouted me to tell me it's legs come out and I've ran over to see it looking like this, there's green coloured fluid at the leg end & the beak end looks really wet and veiny, outer shell is off on this part but looks stuck to membrane?

    They were a mix of silkie & polish. The dark is a silkie the light is polish I believe as dark has 5 toes, light has 4!

    On a happier cuter note these 2 little ones from the same hatch are doing really well 😍

    Thank you for such a kind reply. It hasn't come out of the shell yet, still breathing. My son and I are sat watching like hawks hoping the little one makes it out and is ok 🙏

    This chick managed to zip a good chunk although took far longer than any others from this hatch so I presume its head can't be stuck for this reason? I'm no expert though so please do correct me if I'm wrong!

    I think you are right and I assisted too early. We are just reaching the 24hr mark since pip. There was only one part I could see where the chick was stuck to the very hard goo clump which was stuck to the shell, this is the area where it first pipped. I've released that part but the rest of the...

    Urgent advice needed hatching chick

    I think I've messed up. I led it in a warm moist flannel and sat in the bathroom with hot shower running to keep humidity up. I gently peeled away at some of the hard shell, there was a crusty dry gluey clump of something which I gently removed as it was stuck to the chick and the shell and as...
