Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[MarineCorpFarmr]

Im not seeing alot of blood or big veins. As long as shes still moving breathing and the humidity is high enough she will make it. (unless there is a problem) Normally i dont help my chicks more then opening pips to insure they dont suffocate, and popping off caps when they zip and stall. What day is this one on?

I see now. Keep the membrane wet with warm water so she doesn't chill and hang on a bit longer. Let her absorb the last of the blood. She's getting close now. If she comes out right now she'll be a bit weaker from the lost blood. Just hang in there a bit longer Hope!

Wow, I wish my computer could do all that at once!!

I wish it didn't cost 4 grand just to be able to do all that lol

Okay!

I'll keep spraying her with a warm mist of water from time to time. :3 I promise not to touch her again- or at least until she hatches and is all fluffy.

Spray? Be careful you don't get water on her nostrils!

 

[3Dchicken]

So when do y'all think she will hatch? five hours? I feel so sorry for her. She's gonna be all alone!

Oh well, I'll keep her company!

3D do not attempt this now but later tonight ill go into some detail how to save one without cutting a vein. Ive done it once, and i regret it. the chick was weak and needed constant attention for a few days. Not an easy task with 25+ hatching out of a small set. (245 incubating right now)

 

[MarineCorpFarmr]

dont spray, just drip warm water off your fingers and stay away from her beak

 

[3Dchicken]

Okay! I'm going to go for a walk to pass the time!
