Dear BYC members,
Its the beginning of day 23, all chicks hatched healthy and I thought this one was DIS. No chirping, no movement for days, no pip. I candled it, no movement as well.
I made a safety hole to check its safe to dispose, and saw the chick making very shallow breathing noises. Coconut oil on the (very very white) membrane showed me this pic- I have no idea what I´m looking at tbh.
Is that white thing on top the beak?
Do I clear a tiny bit of membrane from the nostrils to get it breathing?
With the coconut oil the membrane seems to have veining left- should I let it take more time?
Help would be much appreciated!!
