    Congenital loco - stargazing chicks

    Hi, I’m looking for more information on congenital loco - stargazing chicks. I’ve hatched 26 silkie chicks this weekend from 2 breeding pens. 16 from my paint pen and 10 from my blue pen. From the blue pen, 3 on 10 chicks were stargazing. Last hatch from the same pen also one stargazer...

    Is this chick shrinkwrapped?

    Thanks for the support everyone!! It’s the middle of the night where I live now, so I tucked it underneath momma hen and the rest of the hatchlings, for the best chance on acceptance. It was very much alive and kicking, I’ll post pics tomorrow! Still one egg to go…. Hope this will be an...

    Turns out it was attached by a tiny tiny string. I’ll let it fluff up a bit and I’m going to put it with the rest of the hatch that hatched out Thursday 🙈 The chick: The inside of the eggshell, I think it was ready:

    It seems weak, but conscious! We’ll have to see how it develops in the future…

    Is this chick shrinkwrapped?

    So, 30hrs have passed and I had to assist a little more. Freed the head and neck. Yolksac seems to be completely absorbed, but man this is one of the hardest hatches I've witnessed. I really hope it's not deformed or anything, can't see everything yet. It doesn't seem really conscious, eyes...

    I know, I think this one pipped way too soon. I assisted it a few hours ago and the veins didn't seem fully absorbed yet. I freed it up a little bit, but I think I hit a vein. It's still alive though and chirping and breathing :) I'm moistening it up with coconut oil every two hours.

    So it's shrink-wrapped? It was a staggered hatch from under a hen. I have one more left, that seems to be a day behind in developing. And 10 new ones that I put in the 'Bator on Wednesday, it's a mess :')
