    HELP - FIRST HATCH WORRIES!!

    Ok, now my other chick is having problems. She was born with spraddle leg and curled in toes. I’ve almost got the toes fixed and now I’m 99% sure she’s got a slipped tendon in her leg. I’ve been doing a TON of reading and have finally ended up with this pictures attached. I’ve cut a paper straw...

    HELP - FIRST HATCH WORRIES!!

    I had my husband put him down last night. He started going down hill & was just sleeping and gasping for air. I gave him all the love I could until it was his time!😔

    HELP- PROLAPSE OR YOLK SACK?!

    I’ve got him on a paper towel and then gently covered with a little towel on a heating pad. Just trying to keep him comfortable until my husband gets home to send him to chicken heaven😭

    HELP- PROLAPSE OR YOLK SACK?!

    Oh god, ok.. I’ll probably wait until my husband gets home in an hour and let him do it. I’ve never killed any animal before & I’m too emotionally invested in him now to do it myself!

    Ok, I think it’s getting worst. The yolk sack is leaking and it’s getting bigger, not smaller!

    HELP- PROLAPSE OR YOLK SACK?!

    Ok, I think it’s getting worst. Looks like the yolk sack has broken. I’ve taken him out of the tea cup and just places paper towels down in the incubator.

    HELP- PROLAPSE OR YOLK SACK?!

    This chick hatched yesterday and I can’t decide if it’s a prolapse or the yolk sack that hasn’t absorbed. Can anyone please help! He’s wondering around fine and standing up— I have not put him in with other chicks. Is he going to die? Anything I can do to help him? The little sack thing is also...

    HELP - FIRST HATCH WORRIES!!

    But now I have a new problem! The next chick that hatched has either a prolapse or hasn’t absorbed the yolk yet and this is what her behind looks like! Sorry for graphic photos, but I don’t know what to do!

    HELP - FIRST HATCH WORRIES!!

    I left it alone & came back the next day and it was still stuck. I ended up helping her out (she was def shrink wrapped) & her poor little legs are just horrible. Spraddle leg and toes are curled up. I’ve managed to use a hairband and straw to create a sling to keep the legs together.. shes def...
