This morning both the chicks I helped out are still alive. One chick is very weak and I doubt will make it, but the other one is active and standing. It does have the cord and tiny shriveled bag hanging so I'm not sure what to do about that. Anyone with this experience please advise?

Just keep it clean and dab with some antiseptic to ward off infection... trim the cord if it's long enough for it to step on and yank out, that wiuld cause more damage... give nutridrench vitamins to both, will help give them a boost...

Sugar has babies! Or at least one of the two so far. Meanwhile the eggs in my incubator have yet to even start zipping, lol.

Yay for Sugar!!!

for the rest!

68 is just fine... I always shoot for 65 and am in and out of it a lot depending on what I'm hatching...

Hey guys sorry my post are so sporadic. The ameracauna chick finally hatched almost on its own a few hours ago. The yolk was absorbed and all the veins receded. It tried zipping on its own but it's leg got stuck and the membrane was to tough where it initially pipped. Anyways it's here now and it's stomach looks engorged and it's bellybutton looks unhealed. It can't lay on its stomach and keeps rolling over onto it's back. Can I do something for it? What's going on?

Hey guys, The two chicks that I helped out on day 19 are still both alive! The weaker one that I thought would die is trying to stand now. The stronger one has been standing and active. Yolk sac and cords are both hanging but shrinking so I'm just going to leave them be for now.
I'm certainly not out of the woods by no means so I'll keep you posted. Thanks for comments and helpful replies.

Just give it time, fluids aren't fully absorbed in the abdomen yet... dab antiseptic on the navel and put it in the brooder, in a cup might be best for a bit... keeps it from flopping around or getting run over by the others... just watch the navel and abdomen for infection...

Ok thanks I'll find something to put it in and leave her in the brooder. Poor baby but she sure is a fighter.
