Yes, in a small box in the brooder, so none of the other 6 steps on it.

good job but i really honestly think you have done everything you can.I would just keep checking on him and giving him scrambled eggs and electrolytes

 

[paulandashia]

Thank you. I'll try my best.

If you won't have much luck with the original, try this one. It's faster, but lacks images.

How's the chick this morning?

Dark and rainy this morning on the Peninsula... going to get a bit soggy doing the rounds. Three hatchers have nose-prints on them... today is day 22 and I would start to worry but I noticed that they didn't seem to be as far along when I candled them before moving them, so I'm giving them a few more days. Tomorrow I have to find room in a hatcher for almost 100 chukar eggs, and that will free up a shelf in my 1502.

It gets a little complicated keeping everyone in order sometimes...

I'm sorry Ash! I went to bed after I replied to Tori!

How is the little one this morning? Do you have your vitamins yet? You can use
the DurVet yellow bag of Electrolytes and Vitamins until your avia charge comes in.
It doesn't look like anything I have ever seen but a little extra "ooomph" usually
gets them over the hump of whatever it is........Instead of syringing I would just dip
it's beak in the solution. You can drown them really easily.

On a sad note on this side. The turkey popped out sometime in the night but died. So not quite 100% hatch considering the
little polish didn't make it...or the turkey. But all the Dellies and the BCMs are doing wonderful!
