HELP WHATS WRONG WITH HIM
?

Easy does it Peffer how long has he been out?

 

[silkiechicken]

Calm down, let the little guy get his guts in order and fluff up. Babies don't always look cute when they are just born. Give him 24 hrs to do so.

Yup, give him time. It's a lot of work being born. Give him time to uncurl (he's been in that little egg for 21 days, you know!) and get sme energy.

 

[ticks]

Wouldn't you be tucked up in a ball if you went through all that work?
chill, it should be alright.

 

[pefferlawchicken]

ya but know he is strating to bleed a bit from his anus where its swealed , is this the yolk sac??? im just scared , he hatched really fast like in 2 hours from pip to zip and hes been out about 45 mins

 

[asher]

Did you help him out at all?

If not, he should be fine and is just recovering from being born. Just leave him alone and let him recover and get energy. The tummy/bum area may look swollen a bit due to the yolk sack being absorbed.

didnt help him atal but hes making these weird twitches and i just hope hes ok , its my first hatch

 

[walkswithdog]

He's got all new unused and untested nerves, twitches are common. Just let him rest, if he came out fast he's exhausted and needs lots of time to recover. Worry tomorrow. Just make sure he's warm and he'll rebound over time.
