Chick assisted hatch after days in shell

[aliciaperez89]

After days in the shell I finally helped the chick out. It's very week, still breathing but not moving or opening eyes. What can I do to help it survive?? It's yolk is fully absorbed.

I responded to your first inquiry - but, since I'm here - how many days ago did this chick pip? They can go quite a while without needing anything....

If you have some sav-a-chick or other electrolytes, give it a tiny amount now and then. If you do not have any electrolyte, you can google home made electrolytes for chickens and get some simple recipes.

Keep it warm, let it rest.... Good luck & keep us posted!
