My little early bird pied is shaking a lot, I've seen them shake when they first hatch because they are still wet Etc But it's been several hours and he's still shivery quit frequently. Temp in the bator has even gone up to 104. Doesn't stay at that temp immediately goes down once the light shuts off.

He did struggle trying to get out had some gooy dark blood on his membrane. I had to clean his belly button because the slimmy stuff was on his cord really bad. He's vent is closed up now that he's cleaned I'm just worried about this profusely shaking issue. I wonder if it has something to do with him being three days early.

And he was an upside downer. I didn't set the eggs in there correctly. I swear I need a scolding I'm messing up lately.
