Hi everyone I have a newborn baby chick which just hatched yesterday the rest are very active but unfortunately one is very weak and is gasping I have left this one in the incubator separate from others is there a way to save him?

Nope it’s a mystery swap so I wouldn’t know until the chick hatched no idea whatsoever

More photos

I got them from mystery swap eggs shipped, here’s another photo of them I will get clearer ones once fully dried, they came out of a small cream coloured egg similar to a silkie egg.

Can anyone please help? What breed do they look like just freshly hatched :)

Thanks how much do you keep your humidity until lockdown? I’ve been doing dry hatching for my chicken eggs but ducks need the extra humidity I presume ?

Dear everyone I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on a successful duck egg hatch? E.g Humidity ideal temp etc... I’ve incubated ducks before but it’s been at least half a year or more since I’ve hatched ducklings through my incubators... so I’ve slowly forgotten everything on top...

The first batch I had in August was shipped and hatched 4 days late and weak but the rest of the hatches were from my own birds

Thanks for this info this is really helpful I will follow this now instead I used only layers pellets and vegetables before

Thankyou and they have been late to hatch recently What diet is best for silkies? And laying at the moment they are on layers pellets

Thanks unfortunately the little one passed away this morning I’ve been having some chick problems recently all hatching quite weak might there be a problem with my incubators? I’ve not had a problem early this year all from my own birds many thanks

Ok thankyou I will put it in their water :)

Perfect how much do you give each chick drop wise?

Hi I have had some weaker chicks hatch which seem to be very weak and breathing fast and to be very inactive can I give it nutri drops directly to the mouth to give some energy? Or is it for adult birds only many thanks

It hasn’t been eating yet I’ve had to unflip the little one over to many times and unfortunately it seems to be on it’s side too much to eat

Ok thanks I’ll try that I’m hoping it’s not nurogical or something :hmm

I’ll do that now I’ve given the little one some nutri drops too still no improvement :(

I hope it’s just that it just seems like it favours to fall on the side it tries to walk very wobbilily and then falls to the side immediately

Th thanks for the help i will try this and hope the little one recovers :hmm

the neck is fine and the feet are formed normally
