Help Baby Chick Problem!

[DogAndCat36]

I found him outside the nest surrounded in blood. Put him under a heat lamp. Will he make it?

He may. Check the temperature where he is to make sure you are not overheating him. Too hot right now is worse than a bit too cool. Good luck.

Got the video finnaly.

Is he moving at all? I have no idea! @MGG ?

Kind of depends on a whole lot of things.
How much blood, and from where?
Was he an intentional hatch?
Looks very young.
Keep us updated. I hope he makes it.

Okay, that is a good sign. Do you think the momma did this? You may want to keeping checking in on the other eggs to make sure this doesn't happen again. Keep up the good work, Avery

A enough to make my hand red and for to drops to fall... So kinda alot. He just hatched.
I think that his mom saw that he was hatching and wanted to help but he was not fully ready and some veins on the egg broke.
I stopped the bleeding.
The broody is a Australorp and he is a bantam. She might've gotten to rough.

He just opened his eyes. That is a good sign.

Other sources of heat? Portable plug in heaters, microwavable heat packs?

Your not gonna believe this.
So I threw out the bloody eeggshell into the woods. I was cocky this year because I haven't seen a single predator. The blood attracted two raccoons.
I saw only one at first and ran out with a metal rod. I though that it was a cat... It was not. The two flattened their ears and skitterred out of the coop. Thank god they weren't rabbid. The coop door will be locked until the chick reaches a certain age now. When I dunno.
