Hi! I’m on here wondering the same thing. I have a 6 week old silkie chick that has had wry neck for a month. Did yours ever recover? I’m just trying to figure out how long to keep trying. Did yours recover?

My 14 y/o took these pictures and then we forgot to submit them on time. ☹️ She did a great job though so I’m still putting them on here for all to enjoy! 💗

Here’s a couple of pictures of the hatch mates. 10 days old. The little one tries to get under the bigger one all the time.

Oh thank you so much! I’ve only been using VetRx plus some electrolytes and probiotics. It’s breathing is getting better and is sneezes occasionally. I hand feed it scrambled eggs every 2-3 hours. I was able to finally get it to take a bite of wet feed. Hopefully we are heading in the right...

I have a 4 day old chick that I think has aspiration pneumonia and I need to know how to treat. Details- this chick had a rough hatch. It was mal-positioned with feet over head and I assisted the hatch. From the beginning it was totally exhausted from trying to hatch. It just laid in the...

Thanks for the responses! I’m using a Farm Innovators 4250 incubator. I’ve been incubating and hatching chicks with my own eggs this summer. This is my fourth time using it but this time it was shipped eggs. Same breed as my own eggs, just trying to get new genetics in my flock. I have...

Hi! I’m incubating shipped eggs that had a very rough ride. Several eggs were smashed even though they were packaged extremely well. Almost all saddle or detached air cells. I followed the recommendation of setting them upright in an egg carton (large end up) for 7 days with no turning and 30%...

How did things turn out for your hatch? I know it was last December but we didn’t realize our turner wasn’t working and now are at day 21 with no pips. But we do see some movement in the eggs.

In case you like follow up.... I just checked on the chick and it had passed. Finished opening it up and it was malpositioned.... head between feet. Guess that explains why I couldn’t find the beak and the chirp was weak. Bless it.

I’m not sure how to help but maybe reply to MGG who was helping me. Wishing you the best.

Ok, thank you so much!

They were artificially incubated. Temp and humidity held well the entire time. But I am wondering if maybe this incubator has hot and cold spots. It’s my second time using it. Had two chicks that hatched two days early. I’ll try the coconut oil. I did mess with the membrane a little bit ago and...

Thanks for the helpful article. Can you tell me if this looks like a shrink wrapped chick? I’m thinking that’s why this one hasn’t hatched. The other 13 hatched 24-48 hrs ago. But I also still see veins in the membrane. It never internally or externally pipped. I had two other ones that died...

That was my thoughts exactly. I had actually prayed and asked for wisdom about whether to intervene and felt in my spirit that it was best to leave this one alone. And now I know why. So glad I listened to the Lord. It could have really suffered and then we would have had to make a difficult...

In case you like to know what happens: I no longer heard chirping so I floated it again and no movement this time. So I proceded with an external pip. No visible movement in the shell and I couldn’t see the beak so I increased the size of the hole, being careful to stay in the air sac. Then I...

Thanks, that’s good to know. I didn’t realize it could cause oxygen issues but that makes sense. I only floated it because I thought they were both deceased. I couldn’t hear it or see movement until I did the float test. That’s when I first heard a chirp and saw the slight movements of the egg...

It ended up not making it and with good reason. When I realized it was deceased, I opened the shell and it was deformed. It only had the lower part of the beak and possibly just one eye. Bless it. I haven’t had any deformities before. And the other egg that didn’t make it was malpositioned- it’s...

Ok thanks so much 💗

So would you consider helping with an external pip?
