Hatched peachick

[strawn28]

So when should I try to water and feed her since she was in egg so long?

So neck swelling can be normal?

Yes, though I see it most in chicks hatched in incubators.

That's a hard call, because force feeding water can be dangerous.

You could try putting a drop on it's beak and see if it will swallow on it's own, but might be best to give it time to fluff up.

She is up just doesn't flatten her feet. She like walks on them curled up. When should I try to get water or food in her?

Since she was in the egg so long, you might want to think about taping her toes, and I would try to get her to take some sips of water, but be very careful, you don't want her to aspirate!

@KsKingBee , @DylansMom , any suggestions? both of you hatch way more than I do.

How do I tape is it just 2 pieces of tape one on bottom one on tape... Should I do drops of water on her beak? Do I worry about food yet?
