[BYC910]

It's been zipped for about 30 minutes and trying to push out...the shell won't give- When do I THINK about helping???

@Sally Sunshine

think you could help it a little it has turned all way round perhaps remove a little shell on both sides of the pip and let it push out use tweezers if you have them quarter inch should do

she is good yet

Pips and ZIPS ARE NOT THE SAME PATIENCE is a MUST!
THE ZIP / ZIPPING Final HATCH OUT!
THIS STAGE LOOKS ALMOST LIKE A ZIPPER ON YOUR JACKET!
IT ONLY LASTS UP TO 45-90 minutes for chicken eggs!

The final hatch is very quick compared to the previous gaps/stages! The Chick will continued to push through the shell, using its egg tooth.The chick will take a few short rests, changed position, turn and keep cutting through the shell until its head fall free of the opened shell. It will then kick off the bottom part of the shell and then rest exhausted while its navel opening heals and its downy feathers dry off. HATCH COMPLETE

Quote: A NOTE.... and I know your a shell picker as we had discussed before. HOWEVER.... When the chicks circle inside the egg during ZIP stage, they actually twist navel strings/veins and this helps shut down and close them off, if they have too big of an area to get out/or you help them before this happens, they can bleed....

yep, common sense after you do it a while but its one of those DOHs that hit you

Ducks are much worse, as they go round more than once, creating a bigger and bigger hole until they get out... most people interviene with ducks seeing a big hole up top when in fact they are still resting and doing their turns inside.... ducks are such a hard call when assisting or not....



CHICKS CAN GET STUCK IN THE ZIPPING STAGE
AGAIN THIS SHOULD ONLY LAST 45-90 Minutes!!
The IMAGES BELOW are of chicks that needed assistance because they went for way too many hours in the zipping stage!

"open that up and get her out!!
a zip IT ONLY LASTS UP TO 45-90 minutes for chicken eggs!!"
"put a damp HOT rag in the bator when you grab him out, not on eggs though! If the chick is sticky or goopie it will need washed off! I run the tap water warm and hold the chick under it and wash NOT GETTING WATER ON ITS HEAD OR NOSTRILS! After that dry it off with a warm dry rag and put under heat lamp in the brooder or return to the bator!"

I took this piece off and she pushed right out

Its out! the second one without my help thank tha lord!

@Sally Sunshine
What is it that you're thinking? How do I decapitate a chicken?

Wow. I thought the Easter Hatch Along thread moved fast. I started browsing this thread looking at the thermometers portion and cant keep up. Looks like a fun group though and plan to frequent it now that I plan to hatch more.

No, they are Duckling's.
I'm tempted to put the blue head back on the pink body, the unicorn on the white...

Omg i thought it...yep

It was a very frustrating evening, as I discovered four lifeless horses that had drowned. I ended up dcapitating them. Kinda gross, but I overthink things.
They are in a pile for now, I will deal with them tomorrow morning.

Omg im sorry you had to go through that , it sounds like a day from h3!!

In case you missed it,

For those that have ever had a respiratory infection in their flock, take a look at this:





@Fire Ant Farm or anyone else, can you explain what all this means? I see that sulfadimethoxine has a susceptible next to it, does that mean that I could have been used? Just curious... Anyway, the peafowl this was for was not mine and the owner's vet ended up prescribing gamithromycin, which is a cattle drug that is given by injection once every 7 days. I think.

This is the same bird, but different drugs tested:
