They're beautiful
Have fun
Hope you have a good hatch!I have a PIP!!! One of my Serama's has pipped and the other 3 are rockin and Rollin. Yay! I had an internal pip at candle this morning and locked em down. Just right on time today is day 18 all 4 serama's made it to lockdown, only 3 silkies and my Sebright cross...(this one should be interesting...). one really scary saddle air cell in one silkie. My parents are visiting and my mom is so excited to see a hatch she told me to wake her up if the little one comes tonight...
My sick chick is better, poo is more solid and she ate some feed that I wet with treated water.
I had a malpositioned chick hatch exactly like you described and it was fine. As long as you keep it damp they should be o.k.I now have 12 fluffy chicks.![]()
All that's left are the 2 mal-positioned chicks. They're both breathing, but both still have major blood vessels, fairly large yolk sacs, and they're missing over half of their shells. I stuck them into an egg carton lined with tissue paper to help act like a "shell". I know that the odds are against them, but I really hope that they make it.![]()

Thanks Sumi! That brings me some hope. My main concern is that they will try to hatch too early since I had to remove so much of their shells to find their beaks.
I was worried about the same thing, but I found as long as you don't free more than their heads and keep their feet (especially) and their wings tucked in they usually stay put. How are your 2 doing now? I hope those vessels and yolk sacs have shrunk a bit by now. It always feels to me like these complicated assists take extra long to complete. Or maybe it feels that way because it's so nerve wrecking!
Hey!!
