HELP!!!!!! FIRST CHICKY HATCHED WITH EGG YOLK HANGING OUT A LOT OF BLOOD

[LISAANN177]

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HATCHING CHICKEN EGGS. USING FORCED AIR INCUBATOR-THIS IS DAY 22-23 AND ONE OF MY CHICKYS HATCHED, WAS BLEEDING HAD EGG YOLK HANGING OUT AND DIED. WHAT WENT WRONG?

If the chicks are hatching 2-3 days late and still with that much yolk unabsorbed, I would suspect your incubator temp has been running too low. I recommend using a digital thermometer and calibrate it before use. There are many threads on here how to do that.

Does that chick have a crossed-beak. I can't tell from the pic.

sorry for you loss.. the yolk sac did not absorb into the body caused by the temperature in the incubator being to low and also causing the delayed hatching. Temperature needs to be 99.5-100 for a forced air and 101+/- for still air incubators.
