Hello, I have an emergency I think and need help
I tripped and kicked my incubator and sent all 10 maran eggs (20 days old) I had tumbling. 2 of them broke, 1 just a hairline crack that I’ve sealed with some wax as I’ve read here to do, but 1 cracked so bad the developed chick fell out onto the floor! I’m so upset. He looks like a fully developed chick however he still has his yolk sack, which has not broken, but he seems to have fallen on his head/neck. There is no breathing or any movement and I feel no heartbeat. There was only a little bit of blood.
Was he dead in the egg or did I just kill one of my chicks?
I put him on a little dish and put him back inside the incubator, but if he’s passed away I think he’ll start to smell. Is there any signs of life I should be checking for? I’m so upset.
