Aw how cute! That gives me hope. Thank you for your reply.I had a chick who kicked out of her shell too early while there were still blood vessels attached and ripped the cord. Blood everywhere! I was so scared she was going to bleed to death because it was really a lot of blood for such a tiny baby but luckily the bleeding did stop and after that she seemed ok. I dipped her beak in a tiny bit of sugar water just to regain her strength after the blood loss and.... here she is today, six months later!
