Well done for helping out your little Ayam. I see you wiped off the 'glue' with warm water....fabulous....but just make sure it's all off. If her fluff is stuck down, she won't fluff up properly and then won't be able to keep warm. One of my full assists yesterday, had the same problem. She was glued right down one side. Initially, I wiped the worst off with dampened tissue, just to release her wing, and put her in the incubator to dry off and gain her strength but after five minutes, it was clear she was struggling against the restriction of the glue on her skin so I actually had to wash her under a running faucet....full body bath, complete soaking and gentle rub with a cotton bud, to get it all off. It made all the difference in the world and she dried out and fluffed up in no time.
Obviously, if you hold a chick under a running faucet, you need to be VERY aware of the temperature and you need to be quick. I kept putting her in and out of the flow and made sure the water was flowing over my hand the whole time so I could monitor its temperature and force. Speed is also of the essence because if the temp of the water is different to hers, up or down, and it inevitably WILL be, it will affect her very quickly as she is so tiny. Then once the glue was off, I used kitchen towel to absorb as much of the excess water as possible, dabbing her dry REALLY gently, before returning her to the incubator to finish off.
