I will post more pics in a little bit. " What Temp is best and does humidity still need to be high? " Chick was kinda cold for a newborn this morning so the only thing i could think of for a fast solution to get chick warm was put it out in the car.. Temp in car was 110, But i stood there and monitored to just let chick get the body temp nice and warm. The chick is active trying to move around. but doesnt walk or stand up. i figure its still weak but making progress. I am worried that it wont be able to walk?

How are you keeping it warm?

Ideally you want the temperature at 95f for the first five to seven days.

sorry for the double pics posted. Does that look normal on the lower part of the stomach? And the chick is now moving around a lot more, it turned over and holds its head up.. Really alert.

Hey! What happened to the chick?

Looks ok, got a little hatch booger on it's butt but that is nothing.
It should be walking soon, at least by tomorrow.

That looks like it might not have absorbed all of the yolk. Whatever you do, do not pick at it. If it is yolk and ruptures, all of the yolk will leak out, and that would be bad. Can you get a clear, close up picture of it?

oh ok Thank you.. I havent had my incubator out to use for about 3 years. lol kinda forgot the main important info. I almost tossed this egg yesterday thinking it was not any good, the hens had it out by the door a long with another empty half of an egg shell, so i scooped it up so ants wouldnt come then I heard it peeping.
