EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Sally Sunshine]

Quote: that dont look like yolk, its strings right? if it is, just use your nail and pinch it off. it looks dried enough to scissors it off


NAVELS:

She HATCHED! But what's with her butt?

So I have a hatched chick like this. What should I do?

​

ABOVE IS COMMON UMBILICAL STRINGS, just pinch that off with your nails, or BLUNT scissors, you can put iodine on that butt, you need it do dry and heal. If its bleeding use blood stop, corn starch or flour to get it to stop then iodine. keep it separate from the others they will peck it

Below is a photo of a "Duck in a Cup" waiting for its yolk sack to finish up!



The chick BELOW had a large navel at hatch.
With some iodine / betadine she had quickly absorbed the rest of that navel area and is now a fine young pullet!
You want to DRY the navel not keep it wet if the chick is already out of its shell!

Help!! One of my quail babies has a problem with it's leg. It's finding it hard to walk and it's like leaning on one side. It also keeps falling over!! It's strong though and really push Itself. Opinions?

sally gave you good notes

New hatched serama vs icelandic chick

Test does this show up copy pasted from fb message?

awww yes, they show

First one needs a caption

looks like one of those pictures taken at a haunted house

so cute, look at this lil serama thinks that ice is her momma!

super cute!

So the last one to hatch still has the leftovers attached to him. The leftovers are pretty much completely dried up. He is in a small box by himself, because I do not want the ducklings to pull of the leftovers and hurt him. He is really calling for some buddies though!

was that a fresh picture??

I am done now

no

I'm partially hovering over the world's quietest hatch. 3 have pipped and are working on hatching, but they haven't made a sound. It's weird.
