Can anyone give me some tips on washing a newly hatched chick? This one had a very rough time coming out. Pipped for almost 48 hours but took that long for it to absorb yolk and blood. I could see through the large pip hole that It was gurgling and breathing bubbles before I went to bed. I was sure it would die overnight. But I woke up to it zipping on its own. But it's covered in "glue". Eyes glued shut. It's been out for about 2 hours and looks like this:

Really warm damp washcloth, just a little at a time maybe? Probably still needs lots of rest but I'd start with the face making sure no water gets in the nostrils. And make sure the vent is clear.

Full bath can wait unless movement is impaired by the glue.

Good luck!

Warm soft rag with a wee bit of blue Dawn dish soap in the water, or baby shampoo, just a couple of drops. You need to work in a warm area, 100 degrees, so sit under a heat lamp or in front of a fireplace or wood stove. Start at the head, gently around the eyes, avoid the nostrils, and ever so gently tousle the down from side to side, then follow with a head to tail stroke. Keep that baby in the warmth until dry, you can pop it back in the Incubator if it's still running. After it's up and about, rubbing against others and self-grooming will help.
