    OMG I am shaking. Please advise.

    Chicks born with insides on the outside

    Temps and Hum. are fine , been the same with all the hatches for a year. These chicks end up dying , I will try to get some pics on here , but I am sure these are not the yolk, we have had that before and this looks just like a worm , and a liver only smaller. It is strange looking , just like...
