Help!!!!

[tonstevens]

I have two chicks that had an internal pip and I poked a hole to make sure there were still alive. They were! But the membrane stuff around them was very dry . I have them wrapped in a wet paper towel and they are fine . My question is how long will it take them to come out of the shell? Will they do it themselves or will I have to help!

How long since the internal pip? And by dry what do you mean? Is the membrane white or some other color?

 

[tonstevens]

Membrane was white . Is that normal now it's clear . I'm not sure when they pip I'm guessing no longer than yesterday

 

[foxvalleyfarm]

White or clear is OK. Brown or any others isn't. Make sure the nares are clear and then leave them be for a couple hours and recheck. Oh can you see veins?

 

[tonstevens]

I'm not sure on veins it's hard to see threw the window .

You can open it to look quickly and wipe the wall with warm water.

 

[tonstevens]

Yes I see veins one has more than the other

 

[foxvalleyfarm]

Then they aren't ready. Monitor then when they pretty much disappear they are ready

 

[tonstevens]

Ok I will thank you
