    Should I remove it? Chord wrapped around a leg

    So I did, it looks like the chick developed spraddle leg due to it being tied back by that chord for a while

    Should I remove it? Chord wrapped around a leg

    (Wasn’t sure if this thread or the raising chickens thread was the right one for this since I hatched them) He hatched a few days ago and began walking funny yesterday and I thought it was probably straddle leg and had gotten the thing for it but upon checking today I noticed this. Is it safe to...

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    Out of curiosity would it be bad if I did nothing?. Like it’s walking, eating, drinking. It can still poop so the crust isn’t covering, aside from being way small and a bit bonier it seems to be living normally. Like personally I’m not sure I wanna just leave it with crusty bits but if I did...

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    I had to assist the one you’re referring too, he’s doing fine, the one having problems hatched on his own

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    How do I soak the area without putting the chick in water? Or is that the way to do it?

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    I’m not sure I have coconut oil but I’ll look, and yeah it’s fluffy, and is also way smaller than normal

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    The best I could do photo wise, that’s what the area looks like right now, the chick is moving but seems to have a wobble when the leg brushes against it. It’s all one big crust so I can’t really rub it off without pulling it all off and i dont know if that will hurt it.

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    Good I think, been keeping it separate, but the yolk sac has dried into a crusty layer on the underbelly and I’m not sure if I should just leave it alone or do something about it.

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    So I ended up having to assist, and he’s doing fine, chilling in the incubator as we speak, but I do have a question on another one. It hatched still stuck to the egg by umbilical cord and after it had essentially pushed it till it snapped off I noticed it had two little peanut sized things...

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    And in this instance if I do remove the shell and I see signs of veins then I just leave it be right?

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    I have been watching videos. The ones I’ve seen so far they completely removed the outer shell but I’m not comfortable doing that.

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    I have been, and yeah the chirping is consistent volume wise but it does more wiggling than chirping

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    This is the clearest photo I could take, i dont know if you can see its beak sticking out, it’s been like that since my first initial post

    What do you mean?

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    I have one that has had its beak sticking out of the egg for 24 hours straight and the eggs that popped before and after this one have already hatched. He’s clearly alive because I can see it opening its beak repeatedly but it’s not doing anything other than that. Is that cause for concern?

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    Is the white part supposed to look dry? Compared to another that just started piping the white area looks super dry

    Should I attempt assisted hatching?

    Should I be concerned with this egg, the progress shown in the photo is been unchanged since 11 last night so it will be essentially visually unchanged for 24 hours in 2 hours from now. At what point(if necessary and if not already) should I consider attempting assisted hatch?

    How to know if it died or needs help hatching?

    All 12 of my eggs in the incubator looked to be good in the last candling just before lockdown and 9/12 hatched on first day of lockdown and day 21 was yesterday. Should I be concerned about the remaining 3 should I have checked again? Or do I just wait longer?

    Possibly injured?

    Yeah I was about to but it looks to be doing ok now, I’m hoping I was just overreacting
