    assisted help needed

    She is out! After 22 hours of slowly hatching her out. Her abdomen is huge and she has splayed legs, I am just letting her sleep if on in the incubator while I work out what care she needs next.

    Assisted Hatch help needed :(

    Spent from 3 am to 1.30 the next morning slowly hatching the chick. She seems to be massive. She had a particularly big abdomen (possibly full of yolk?) I think she has splayed legs and curled toes . If I can work out how to add a picture from my phone , I will

    assisted help needed

    I had 3 4 eggs in the incubator (swedish flower hens) One chick hatched bang on due date and is doing really well. Out of the 3 remaining eggs, two were tapping on the inside and making little chirps, one egg was silent and still. Two days later still no cracks on the remaining eggs. One of the...

    thank you so much!!! It was only when i helped the little fella out I realised what a mess he had got into! How he had done it baffles me but he had managed to zip 90% of the way round then managed to get totally stuck! his head and feet were all in the wrong position and he came out bottom...

    Further to this, ive just had a little help, he is is a bit of a funny position, so ive only loosened the egg a little and have popped him back in so he can have a wriggle and get himself into a position to hatch. does this seem okay, Im reluctant to whisk him out just incase! Do we know how...

    Thank you so much for the help, i didn't want to help it just in case it wasn't ready and I caused more damage! It is certainly moving about allot and is very noisy! if you tap on the lid of the incubator he gives really big pushes. Ive done an assisted hatch before so I will see if i can give a...

    Help! I have a chick that started to hatch yesterday at around 4 in the afternoon. since then its made amazing progress and zipped right the way round the egg over night. there is about a 3 mm gap where it has zipped and you can see his feathers. When i looked closely shining a white light...
