First time incubating

[ChickenLegs13]

Yeah he don't look so hot. Did you "help" him hatch? Usually when I help mine hatch they come out looking like that. Usually they lay around for a day and finish absorbing the yolk before they jump up and start running around.

By the time they are as zipped as much as that one was they should not have an exposed yolk.

I just did. Thank you so much!

Is it moving much? You might want to put it in a small tupperware container on a paper towel. If the yolk breaks, you have a very slim chance of saving it.

Well now this huge greenish yellowish glob with blood vessels came out. It's still chirping and moving around but it doesn't look good. Still put in container?

 

[casportpony]

How about another picture of it and one of the blob?

Looks like it's ruptured. I don't know what the correct thing to do is, but if it were mine I would put it in a smallish container and hope for the best.

Google for ways to treat a ruptured yolk sac.
