Immediate crisis, abandoned egg, please help

Keep the chick warm. Be gentile but deliberate showing how to drink, and eat. I had a hen that needed her legs taped up with small wooden sticks to help with strait foot growth. Just take it very slow. Mine turned out fine.

Yeah, I've seen some guides on how to make little splints.
I'm worried the egg hasn't fully detached on it's own yet, but I am NOT ready to pull it off... But I'm not comfortable putting on splints or putting a water dish in until the egg is gone!
And I have to go to work soon! What to do, what to do...

Wish, and pray that you find comfort in knowing that your chicken will be safe! Have a great day at work, and know the chick will be waiting for "mama" you! When you get back. I wish my flock had someone like you, when I have to go out of town.

If anyone wants needed advise, I try hard but I suggest Texas Kiki as a source she's pretty knowledgeable. And cares!

The good news: Cookie lives!
The less good news: Cookie has severely splayed legs and has not fully detached from the egg yet.
What to do now??

Can you get a clear picture of her butt area, assuming that is where it still attached.
Do NOT pull on anything.
You may need to cut. May.
Let me see first.


I have not caught up on the thread yet.

There's not much to see beyond a weak chick. I gave her a drop of nutri drench. View attachment 1884186

Ok I see here that it has not fully absorbed the yolk and closed up yet.
The less you mess with her the better. Leave her be for now and give this time to heal.

Hey Kiki, don't get a big head over this, but it's true! You have saved my birds many times from disaster..... I'm showing appreciation! There is good peeps in you and your family !!

 

[featherhead007]

Wish I could press "like" a hundred times on that advise

Kiki, Texas isn't too far from my properties in Cali, come see my magnificent flock! After all they owe their feathered lives to your wisdom
