Bleeding Egg

[Zgm12]

Mine is still sleeping, but she is doing well. Last night, she had a drink of electrolytes. She is peeping occasionally and is now fluffy and dry. I will post pictures later. Thank you again for all for your help!

No pic's yet as only just woke up but just to let you know she's survived the night and is a lot stronger, I've left her in the bator for a bit longer though as the other chicks are a bit boisterous, so I'll put the big chicks out in the poly tunnel for the day, clean out there cage as it has a heat lamp, put in some clean bedding n put the biggest of the smaller chicks over there for the day n put this girl in with the smallest quietest chicks under the brooder.

This will give her a chance to gain strength over the day. I know the chick is female as she's a CLB.  The other chick that piped is doing ok but I've not intervened there to much it has a larger hole than last night and i can see its active inside.

I'll post photos later and i hope that Zgm's chicks also well and active today.

Glad she's doing well! Can't wait to see pictures.

As promised some pic's, only this chick turned out to be a boy not a girl when it was finally dried lol. One happy chick though who's sitting with its siblings under the brooder.


In the Bator, the remains of the egg is under the paper Towel.to stay moist and stop it from drying out.



Chick with swab taped over its navel whilst it drys n heals, next to one of its siblings under the brooder. Flash went off hence not the best pic.



Chick drying out in brooder, still sleeps a lot but gaining strength.



Chick sitting up, and moving around nice and alert. Still wearing sterile pad over its navel , I'll leave this on until this evening.

Likewise and thanks he sure is a cutie. I was up most of the night checking on him. The one in the bator now is pretty much hatched and drying out nicely. and one of the remaining 2 eggs has pipped so I guess it's another busy night again lol. I don't mind though they are worth every sleepless night.

Something I've noticed with these guys the membranes on these eggs have all been very thick, more so than usual. I'm wondering if its down to the weather n humidity here. Something I'll be keeping in mind for next year as these are the last Cream leg bars I'm hatching this year.

It's just the Birchen Maran eggs left to hatch this year in about a weeks time so fingers crossed for then as they are imported eggs, so I'm only expecting a low hatch rate despite having 18 eggs.

Congrats on the improvement on both your chicks. So glad to hear that. Pics are cute.

This is Wish! She's a little blue silkie chick who is surprisingly very active and very talkative. After taking a rest overnight, she has recovered from the long and stressful hatch. I have her in the incubator now, but will probably move her to the broody with the other chicks soon. Sadly, only 4 have hatched from my fifteen eggs that I set and one died from what looks like being stepped on by the broody. Should I be concerned for my other chicks? I have another broody hen I could move them to that is much older and more experienced, but don't want to cause them any stress. Here's little Wish:

This is her sibling who hatched under my broody:
