    What do you do with a Yolk Sac

    Chick just hatched on day 21, unassisted with just this little piece of (what I assume is) yolk sac. How do I treat this? Leave it to dry out, gentle work in? Thanks. I did not run my humidity too high or assist in anyway.

    Chick Hernia?

    Nothing new here, but wanted to post pics to see if anyone has any suggestions. Chick hatched overnight with no assistance, but was dragging quite a lot of egg gunk. After spending the night in the incubator, this is what is left. I have been trying to keep it moist and push it back in, but it...

    Can I help this girl? She is alive, and alert, not showing any reaction to the wounds. What can I do?

    Is Bluey a boy or girl?

    I thought we only had one rooster in the spring hatch, but Bluey is looking a little boyish these days. They are 13 weeks old. My rooster already has his comb and waddle. Bluey’s comb is getting a bit more pronounced as they get older. Mixed breeds, Bluey came from a blue egg though! (If that is...

    PLEASE HELP Unabsorbed Yolk Sack?

    Not sure why I do this to myself! My second try hatching. I’m using a less than great incubator from a friend (never again). I had an early hatcher and went to candle my eggs before lockdown, and low and behold a Pip. Now my humidity is a wreck and had to assist this one as the membrane was hard...

    Hernia? Prolapse?

    I assisted this little one with it’s hatch 36 hours after it’s external pip. It had made no progress in 12 hours. It is now back in the incubator but has a protrusion from its bum area. I’m sure this isn’t a great thing, no matter what it is and could have been the reason it couldn’t hatch by...

    External pip for 24 hours

    Quite certain the answer is wait, but how long should you allow a chick to struggle to unzip? Noticed external pip last night, tonight the hole is bigger and can see chick inside. It’s peeping, breathing and doing lots of wiggling but is making slow-no progress and now it’s bed time. Do I leave...

    Early Pip

    I have an egg pipping before I even put my eggs on lockdown and jacked the humidity. It’s only been running on 35% and was due to go on lockdown tonight. The sack does not look good to me. This is my first ever pip! If you saw my post earlier this week, I opened my incubator on my two first eggs...

    Mega Mistake

    First time hatcher here, and I’m not sure I have done anything right from day one. To skip the long story below, I’m wondering if ANYONE has ever had eggs hatch after the incubator was opened/egg candled on day 21. I’m using borrowed equipment for my first hatch and wasn’t prepared before...
