Chick doesn't seem to be trying anymore, when should I help????

[dandydoodle]

The yolk sac was completely in and there was no blood in the membrane. I think I might of accidentally pulled on the the thing that goes in his tummy a little bit when trying to get the membrane off him. So if parts of the membrane are stuck to him does that mean he was shrink wrapped?

What is sticky chick?

 

[dandydoodle]

Hmmm, sounds like sticky chick. The one from to little humidity during incubation Sticky chick not wet sticky. Can it happen from a drop in humidity from opening it long enough to grab out a bad egg?

How's the chick doing?

 

[dandydoodle]

Hmmm, I am not sure. He looks like it is laying resting. I think it might end up being okay, I guess we will know in the morning. I am concerned his legs might be stuck in a straight back position behind him. He has one leg tucked up under him but continues to hold the other one back. I am wondering if it is like this because he was stuck in a bad position for to long. His leg was completely stuck. If this is the case is there anyway to fix it or is it one of those things it is what it is????

Have you picked the chick up? See if it'll move the leg to the proper position?
