Apply some permethrin dust or spray asap. You don't want mites in your house. Did you positively ID the bugs? Google mites and lice for images to help with that.

OyVey!! Hang in there.

Ducking looks good! Not too much 'distress from being alone' squeeking?

Not sure what cuts vaseline......Dawn dish soap?

Can you set up a brooder near the other birds, like right in their coop/run?

Where are you located? Do you have other poultry?

That little umbilicus bulge will recede after a day or two. Even if it's a bit 'open'. As long as it's not oozing or bleeding it'll be fine.

That looks ok....string fall off? She probably doesn't need anything to eat or drink for at least 12 hours. Just let her rest in the bator. This is your only hatchling? Have you looked into how to take care of a single hatchling?

Next time you check her belly take a pic.

No reason too...you want things to start drying up.

Poop's OK. Blood vessel maybe could be trimmed off IF it's not still flowing. Don't cut it too close to belly. Better get @WVduckchick to chime in on that tho.

Oh and can leave her in there for at least another 12-24 hours.

Just leave her be. Have you hatched before? Pretty typical. All the shell off of her? How does umbilicus look?

Yes...it takes them a bit of time to get over the hatching.

Yes, have had assists walking around with chunks of shell stuck on, one was very large, had to 'soak' it off by dripping warm water.

Almost looks like she could get out of that. If you do remove more shell, take it from the top, side, and back of her head.

Ditto Dat^^^ I usually just take a bit of shell off at a time, stopping if there's any bleeding, then put it back in bator to rest for 30 minutes or more. I have never pulled the chick all the way out, just opened shell enough so it can get out on it's own.

It's hard to say when to start...but if blood vessels seem to be receding and she's moving and vocalizing more.....I might start chipping away at that shell. So you have good tools to do so? I've found a tweezers or very small hemostat work well to grab just tiny bit of shell and break it out...

Indeed .....my last lock down was 'interrupted' on day 18 with a pipped at wrong end and stuck to the turner rack with leaked and dried egg fluid. Had to take the whole rack apart and broke the egg getting it off...there was bleeding...I waited but ended up assisting that one and 3-4 others, the...

Was not meant as a judgment, just a curiosity, sorry.
