If you known the trilogy of the man with no name you will enjoy this.

That's good, thanks for sharing it.

Yes, vet techs used to be able to do it, now the vet has to be involved. It changed when you could no longer get some of the meds for your animals over the counter.

I got out of dogs just in time, didn't I? Heck, when I started I supported Jeffers just buying rabies shots. That was before the government pushed its way into the medical field.

Hi everyone. Can you all help me? I have an egg in the incubator right now that was due to hatch on March 21. It finally internally pipped on March 31. I left it alone for three days and it still wasn't externally pipped. So I made a hole so it could breathe on April 3. Now it has been 5 days since it internally pipped and it still has lots of blood vessels. I don't think it is absorbing the blood vessels but it is chirping. Can anyone help me? What do I do? I've never had a chick take this long. Thanks

This one has me stumped. Perhaps an egg was added by helping hands. Duck or chicken?

It has me stumped too. I couldn't find any information on it. It is a chicken.

Well when it hatches post pictures.

 

[KarateHorse]

Ok. I will. Can anyone else help me out?

That egg must have been added a lot later than you thought.
Make sure the humidity is high enough to keep the chick from being shrink-wrapped. Then just let nature take its course.
If I were dealing with it myself, I’d know if it was safe to assist. But from your description, that chick is not ready yet.

Thanks for the reply but the date the egg was due to hatch was definitely correct. It has been 5 days and it still didn't externally pip on its own. That is what makes me think the chick is stuck or unable to absorb everything somehow.

If there are are still bleeding vessels it is not ready.
Have to also think it somehow got added later.
