Dear friends
5 RIR chicks hatched on July 18 & 19. 4 of them are walking around and eating. One cries and only want to sleep. I dip its beak in water with ACV a few times. What else can I do to help the chick. Your inputs are always very helpful. Thank you all in advance.
Thank you all for your help. I separated the chick from the others. The elbow is bruised and has open wound. I applied some neospurin ointment on the bruise and covered it with gauze. I hope this helps to heal. I was not able to try to move the tendon.

Thanks for all the advice.

This is the first time I am trying to incubate and hatch chicken eggs. I have a home made incubator made of wood with a small fan and temperature controller. The temperature ranges between 98.6 and 100.4. Is it OK. Today is the 4th day since we put the eggs in the incubator. The humidity level...
