Due to the little chick bleeding last night and slimed everything in the bator
most of the other chicks who should be dry and fluffy are dry but not fluffy due to being slime.
Would them not getting fluffed out cause any problems with them keeping warm when
they go in the brooder? Make them peck...
This morning he is still alive, still very active and chirpy. The stuff hanging is now dried up and stuck to him.
Will need to eventually figure out how to get this off him later if he survives.
I thought there was another but after looking over the new hatches there wasn't one.
And yep he is moving all around but it's making it bleed a little at times all his moving around.
And chirping up a storm. Have a min furry even peeping buddy to put in with him lol
Spare incubator up and at proper temp and he is not separated and none to happy
about being alone. Updated picture when changing bators.
So will this dry up and fall off and the area it's attached to close up?
Poor little bugger hates being all alone.
I have the other bator cranking up so I can separate the little one.
This was actually one I did not help. The helped ones are doing fine. Just weird.
I try to NEVER help unless there is not one smidgen on progress in 24 hours.
Not aware how long they can stay in the egg once pipped before...
Thank you, the others will be cuter in pictures of them totally dry.
The first two pics are Swedish Flower Hen chicks and the last ones are both Light Sussex and Lemon Cockoo Orps.
As long as it's rinses super well is ok to use diluted bleach to clean an incubator that is styrofoam?
Or would it be to pourous and keep some of the bleach in it and then
become a danger to the next hatch?
Today is day 22 and they pipped on their own.
I was thinking they would pip today or tomorrow since my bator gave me issues and the temp was lower (94 to 95) one evening on and off.
