I think there second one just recently died because the veining was still red and the membrane was very freshly looking. The yolk was almost completely absorbed. If I had opened sooner maybe I would have saved it.
I opened the egg where I've seen feathers and enlarged air spot. The egg tooth was away from the cell and I think it died because it could not break into the air cell. There was a bit yellow liquid from not fully absorbed yolk (quite small amount). Rip...
Interesting info, thanks for sharing. I didn't know that.
I'm sceptical that something will come out and holding back to make a hole because last time I had a chick that shrink wrapped because of it, although I assisted and moistured it (the membrane was still too veiny to be pierced).
I do...
Hi everyone, can you please help me?
All others hatched day 21-22 with the hen and she abandoned the nest leaving 6 eggs behind. I candled and kept two. I saw veining in one what I thought was probably an egg that I gave one day later because she refused some eggs after day one. Now it's day 23...
Can I follow up on this post as I have the same issue. All others hatched day 21-22 with the hen and she abandoned the nest leaving 6 eggs behind. I candled and kept two. I saw veining in one what I thought was probably an egg that I gave one day later because she refused some eggs after day...
The chick stands more on one leg than the other and it started as being a bit lethargic and poorly walking with wings spread out to keep the balance. It kept falling more on the bum and sitting and it has been so since day 1. Sometimes it sits more sometimes it stands more. It's been now 4 days...
Thank you!
I did something similar at the end, hope it helps for him/her 🙏🏻
My only concern is that the chick is sitting most of the day under heat with the eyes closed, alert only if I approach or others bother him/her. Drinks and eats but probably way too little as I begin to see difference...
Thanks for your feedback. The chick is only put there for the video as in the brooder it is difficult to film. Are you referring to splayed leg by saying dislocated tendons?
Can someone help please to identify what's wrong with this baby chick?
Seems to be doing fine except does not walk well, loses balance and sits a lot on the bum. Eats ands drinks but is so from birth, now on day 3 not any better but also not worse. Sits a lot under heat and less active than...
A little story with the hopes to learn smth I don't know yet from everyone who reads it.
I found one of my chickens in a penguin stance and immediately suspected egg bound situation.
After 3 bath salts and aaaa loooot of reading I checked for egg and there was none. You can see how miserable...
