HELP! Incubator quit day 26!

His empty shell?

HE"S OUT OF THE SHELL???

I think so. She said it kicked itself out after she worked with it. But I could be wrong.

HE"S OUT OF THE SHELL???

Yeah he surprised me and suddenly pushed all the way out about an hour or so after we freed his head! He came out the most messy though - the inside of the shell was bloody goo (below). Is that why he is weak? Didn't absorb the extra blood?

Wow what a little stinker, Ok, can you check his belly button, make sure it's not bleeding, it's probably has not shrinked down so that's going to be an issue until it does. if the belly button is Exposed and sticking out will need to put some stuff on it so he doesn't get an infection

 

[Lacrystol]

hows his belly button??

Homesteadin you are amazing and ingenious. I love that incubator you came up with, your like MacGyver lol but with kids toys lol.
Lacrystol you know your incredible dont you lol. You have been patient, helpful, and at times a bit bossy, (i mean that in a good way) you know what your doing. Thank you for helping the ducks. Can chicken eggs get sticky too? Congrats on the babies!
Hope i didn't interrupt.

Yeah it did bleed a little for a while and eventually dried up but so far looks "outtie" and kind of red. Just put ointment on it. The last guy is out now and has a seriously long neck! I have a feeling it will take him a while to find his center of gravity!

And I agree, Lacrystol knows her stuff - so glad I got connected with her to help me through!!

Ok I'm finally going to bed, but one more thing for someone if they know the answer and what to do.

The 4th and final one out seems to be having trouble with its neck - it always wants to go to the left side even when he tries to hold it up, and has trouble holding it up in general. When in the shell I found his neck was coiled around that way. Will this go away or is it wry neck? Do I need to do anything at this point?
