Prolly too late but, Dab belly buttons with flour to stop bleeding, the belly button needs to dry up, I would not damp cloth it. Congrats on babies.

The damp allows for a little extra time for absorption while keeping it from sticking/pulling .... but that’s not for long term.
Everything’s finished up and dried now.

Perfect. Thanks for your help.

@Pyxis - One more question.... chick A seems much weaker than B (which hatched out this morning). Is there anything you do to boost them up at this early age, or just wait it out to see if strength increases?
He can hold his head up for a second, but if pretty floppy. Just want to make sure there isn’t something I should be doing at this point.

Thank you very much!

For now there's not much to do but wait. You could try to get a little Nutri Drench into him to give him a boost, but be careful as you don't want him to aspirate.
