You could start by giving a very small amount of pedialyte or gatorade every hour, and by a small amount I mean 0.05 ml (cc) or less. Here is a picture:

I know what 5cc is. LOL but how is that going to help the wheezing and sneezing thing he's got going on right after he drinks??

What egg was wobbling alot? Number 2 and is he still alive?

Yes, egg #2 is wobbling and has a pip, but it hasn't done made any progress at all since 3:00 AM this morning. Egg #1 died, and egg #3 hasn't done anything at all.

FYI, the one I just treated was the same size.

Make a safe hole for 2

But it's externally pipped. I've said that about three times this afternoon. It's made a crack, but hasn't done anything since. It keeps moving and wobbling, but hasn't made one bit of progress on that shell!

Quote: He's wheezing and sneezing because the water is going into his nasal cavity and possibly his trachea. Tubing will allow you to bypass both of those holes.

Here is the choanal slit, it's what their nares are connected to:

When they shut their beaks/bills it covers the glottis and is how they breathe.


"At the base of the tongue, the glottis and the laryngeal mound are located. The larynx of mammals is used for vocalization, but it is the syrinx, located down much further, that is responsible for sound production in birds. The glottis is the opening to the windpipe, or trachea. The choana is located on the roof of the mouth. It is a slit that connects through some passages to the nostrils. One really neat difference that birds have is that the glottis will fit snugly into the choanal slit when the bird closes its mouth, and the bird will then have a closed connection from the nostrils to the windpipe. When a human breathes through the nostrils, the air goes through the back of the throat, which is an open area, to the trachea through the larynx."
