thank you, hopefully I can figure out what went wrong and correct it next time. I will try getting a meat thermometer, I've looked around online but never ordered one because I saw too many reviews saying it was inaccurate but that makes sense so I could calibrate it. They hatched right on time...
I'm sad to say that it's died :( I don't think it was possible for it to survive with all that stuff hanging out. I have no idea what happened to cause such a terrible hatch but at least the two that I have seem to be doing okay
I currently have it in the brooder so I'm worried because it seems to be drying out and sticking to the paper towel a little. I still can't tell what's hanging out of its naval but I'm kind of worried that if it sticks to the paper towel the chick will try to move and yank more stuff out of the...
Does anyone know what I should do to at least give the chick a better chance of surviving? Should I let the yolk dry up? Should I keep it moist? The chick seems okay but it doesn't look like its absorbed anything.
I don't know if this could help pinpoint what the problem was but one of the chicks pipped on the wrong end and died before I could get to it, and one of the two healthy chicks that hatched seems to have curled toes. I have never had any of these problems before, and this is out of 12 (shipped)...
I don't know how to salt test humidity gauges but I had a brand new thermometer/hygrometer from incubator warehouse in there that's supposed to be very accurate which is why I got it, I also had a brinsea spot check thermometer to compare temp. I had the humidity around 30-40% throughout...
one of my chicks just hatched and when I went to take it out of the incubator I saw that it hadn't fully absorbed its yolk sack/blood vessels and it has a bloody mess hanging from its naval and still attached to the shell. I took it out with the shell and put it in a quarantine container, the...
