    Hernia? Prolapse?

    Lil chick did not improve. It’s mobility wasn’t great and did not eat or drink on its own. I tried to feed sugar water and keep protrusion clean and dry. But neither helped. The sack got badly infected and leaked green fluid. Baby was starting to get lethargic, I made the tough call to end his...

    Hernia? Prolapse?

    I assisted this little one with it’s hatch 36 hours after it’s external pip. It had made no progress in 12 hours. It is now back in the incubator but has a protrusion from its bum area. I’m sure this isn’t a great thing, no matter what it is and could have been the reason it couldn’t hatch by...
