It's very rare for chicks to drown. It's only when the air cell is intact, and the chick internally pips into it, and drowns in fluid. That is only if your humidity was too high throughout incubation. Like, 60% plus.I've read that someone had a chick not end up internally pipping and drowned inside? Sorry I'm new at this
Oh I see, what is it called when the chick fails to pip and doesn't absorb the yolk and dies?
Do you have any Triple Antibiotic Ointment? If the membrane is white that's ok. Yellow is what's bad. They definitely still need a lot of time.
No I don't. So I don't have to spray and just leave them be?
Keep the humidity pretty high, like 70%, but no you don't have to mist them.
OK thank you, I'll post if anything else happens
Hi, I've stopped misting them and the one with its beak out is starting to zip around the egg slowly but they other is still the same but it's barely moving now
I went to help the second chick and it's dead, it's head wasn't positioned under its wing and was bent funny and swollen, I feel like I could have prevented this if I helped get its head out this morning
Sorry for your chickI went to help the second chick and it's dead, it's head wasn't positioned under its wing and was bent funny and swollen, I feel like I could have prevented this if I helped get its head out this morning
How is the other one making out? It's not your fault. Was it only the 2 eggs you were incubating this time?
