Humidity help and chick drying

[Gav20692]

One more quick question running temp at 36.8 should this now be lowered ?

It looks like the abdomen is still open.
Try to keep chick from running around by putting it in a cup in the incubator.
Maybe get another pics showing abdomen better?

@aart

Sorry about pic quality hard to do one handed

 

[aart]

Yeah.... can't really see, get it in some better light
and keep snapping until you get one in focus on the belly.

Has this been your temp all the way through incubation?

How is the chick this morning?

 

[Gav20692]

37.5 throughout day 18 advised to drop temp to 36.5

Ok so came down stairs this morning and he has detached from shell and cord and is dry he has now been placed in brooder with his brothers or sisters (haven’t sexed as don’t know how )
He is considerably smaller and is still having trouble finding his balance

How does his 'belly button' look?
Late hatchers can have some troubles getting going...a drop of Poultry Nutri Drench might not be a bad idea, especially if he doesn't start drinking on his own.
But the is just 24(?) hours old so...could take some time.

Also watch this one in particular for pasty butt. I've notice the last and weakest sometimes are more prone.

Ok so it’s been a couple of hours with him in brooder
Abdomen seems fine he has eaten and had some water and pooped which I believe to be all good signs

The 2 older chicks are looking after him snuggling he seems a bit more balanced but definitive signs of improvement

Thanks for all your help @aart @Yorkshire Coop
