Its day 23 and i have opened my incubator alot the past days which i know is bad! -to assist an egg that was stuck.
She eventually got out and when i put her back in the incubator there was a cracked egg just the shell.
i dont know how it happened but im worried if it might have hurt the...
thank you so much, when i put it back in the incubator the chick must have fallen or something and seems to have cracked an egg in there and im not sure what to do, its expected to hatch soon they are all actually hatching late but im afraid this will have killed the chick inside it
ty, i see another egg in there.
Its definitely cracked the shell not the membrane though.
I think it must have gotten crushed when i put her back in.
I dont know what to do should i just leave it?
Its day 23 and 3 out of 8 chickens have hatched today they all seem to be hatching late.
Thanks, will do i have the brooder set up with water.
She is a beautiful fully black silkie, shes chirping alot so i think thats good she hatched right away in my hands as soon as i peeled away the membrane.
im only 13 so i hope i handelled this well.
I just did what you said. She just hatched in my hands.
i put her back in the incubator along with her shell as the umbilical cord is still attached. What should i do im so shocked
I have a silkie that has been pipped 35+ hours it's alive but not able to get out for some reason, maybe its late.
I tried to help a bit but it started bleeding so i put it back in.
It was rolling around a bit this morning due to its newly hatched sisters running over it.
What should i do?
Im...
Okay thanks, there are two other hatched chicks but 6 other ones, its day 23 now do you have any idea if they will hatch they dont have external pips or internal i dont think
The two hatched chicks hatched at 3am this morning
thanks, i think it was under the membrane where it was bleeding, she started peeping when i tried to help.
The membrane where i peeled the shell of is dry, she is tapping and peeping though
Is this what i should do? I had a similar problem its been 30 hours and theres just a pip i tried to help a bit but it started bleeding ive put it back but im unsure if should keep waiting
i did hear chirping and saw an external pip from one of the eggs, when i come home from school hopefully it will have hatched. the other 8 eggs i hear nothing from
