Hatch Day Help- Urgent!

[kinsiebrooke]

Is the chick that you hatched still peeping?

 

[dustergrl]

When agitated, yes. The others seem to still need some time. I pulled a bit of shell off the other pipped egg and saw some decent blood vessels yet. Here is how things look now.

The hatched chick will also encourage the others to hatch so maybe they'd be able to hatch by themselves.

The hatched chick seems exhausted and is just laying there- breathing and peeping when touched. Is this okay?

 

[kinsiebrooke]

Yes. It took our chick hours before she finally started to try and stand.

 

[dustergrl]

Okay. Gonna give them a few hours and see what happens. Temp is 85 and 71% humidity. Maybe by then the vessels on the one green egg will be absorbed more. I hear tapping from the other brown egg so we'll see!

 

[kinsiebrooke]

Ok good luck. Tell me how the others go later.

 

[dustergrl]

Will do. Thank you for your help!!!

 

[kinsiebrooke]

Your welcome I hope all goes well and you have some healthy chicks!

Well we have two hatched chicks- the one from earlier and the other brown one! I helped the two pipped green ones a bit, but they still are too vascular. The one green one seemed like it was having some trouble breathing- blowing air bubbles, so I held a paper towel to its beak to see if there was water I could draw off as it breathed. We'll see how that one turns out.

The one I helped and the other one have been plopping around in there- will take a pic when I check them again in an hour

The other green one still has not pipped but there is peeping if I tap on the shell.

With some restructuring of the lamp, we're now around 90 degrees and about 65-70% humidity.
