So in a nut shell, one of my chicks didn't absorb all the yolk sack, and as it was walking around the wire floor in the gator it looked like it possibly cut open?
What’s up?
You can put the chick in a teacup or other small container it can't get out of, with some soft fabric (towel?) so it doesn't move around until the yolk is absorbed. Keep the cup in the brooder.
I always love how they all rush to the sides and want you to cuddle them, it’s so sweet!hmmmmmm bantams have been known to hatch from day 18-21 or your heat is off and it has been a little high so cooking them a bit faster.
oh no so you are going to miss most of the hatches.I was gone for an HOUR when my first one hatched and my husband was texting my daughter, who was with me, freaking out on what he had to do, it was trying to push out of the egg, then it was that it was flopping around, then it was that it was starring at him wanting to come out etc. haahaa. he is a bit better now but not sure he is at dealing with it on his own yet. LOL
Cantbwait to pull everyone out!
Not odd. You start counting 24 hours after you set.
