I had to start a different thread for this but These eggs were not suppose to hatch until between Sunday - Tuesday.
Why they hatched this early I do not know. I had to work and before I left I always check for pipping, at 12:30 there was none. When I came home from work there were 3 hatched and all got caught in the fan
I am so upset over this that I started to panic and that was not going to help these babies at all so I kicked into perfessional mode (I use to be a pro dog groomer). I took each one and examined them. One has a little cut on it's head, the IB or charcoal has a little bigger one on his head but the other has a huge, I mean HUGE skin lose on it's head and the back of it's neck. I put some Vaseline petroleum jelly on the cuts including the last one. I don't know if they should dry up or if I needed to keep them moist to heal so I went with the second cause it seemed to soothe them as I applied it - well in my mind anyways. The pictures are very graphic and the worse chick looks even worser (new word of the day) cause of the "jelly"
Will they all be ok? Do I need to do something for them? Will the worse one heal ok?
This is really upsetting me!!
This is when I first put the Vaseline on the most bloody one:
All 3 in the brooder:
The worse one with it's head down sleeping on the other, here you see the neck damage:
