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

[cochins1088]

weird! usually the weird air cells and lack of space cause excess fluid loss and not the other way. If they are still breathing after this long, they should be ok if they don't get navel infections and they are given plenty of absorption time, I have noticed with the ointment use I never have to remove membranes, they always get out when they are ready as long as I cleared the air cell part of the shell away. Did you have to go digging for their beaks or were they low in the air cell?

I had to do a little digging, but not much. Only one of them was positioned correctly, but all of their breaks were somewhat near the air cells.

I'm mainly worried about how weak they are.. It's honestly shocking. I have never seen chicks this weak and I can't think of any reason except for the condition of the parents of the eggs.

awww poor girl! Glad she is better now! what date was she hatched? it was Oct November wasn't it?

Middle of December. I think the light hours changing affected her laying. She is a month early...
Yep, she is in my closet now. XD She seems to like it. She is drinking a lot of water for some reason also.

What day are you on?

I'm on day 22. I've had hatches go as late as day 27, but I know these eggs and the chicks should already be hatched. They are very weak and struggling.

The one I posted about earlier that I thought had pipped internally finally pipped externally. It has a weird shaped air cell so now I'm worried about it zipping properly. I now have 5 serama and 1 silkie. One of my little seramas is worrying me. He keeps flipping over on his back. Is that normal for newborns?

Does anyone know if you can delete a post you wrote yourself? I somehow ended up posting 4 duplicate posts on another thread and can't find out how to delete them.

No, but when this happens you can hit the red flag in the bottom left corner and put "duplicate post" in the comment box, then one of the staff members will delete them for you.
