Wanted to share in hopes that this may help someone!

During the last hatch, I had two sets of eggs from different breeders. One set a day behind the others. On day 21, one of the chicks had hatched and somehow gotten tangled in the incubator fan wires. I cracked the incubator open to retrieve the chick, and in doing so, I accidentally cracked the top open on one of the Day 20 eggs!!!!! Luckily, it had pipped internally, but the membrane quickly started to dry out! I followed @Sally Sunshine assisted hatching 101 found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching

The little chick was doing well, but even after peeling back the membrane and uncountable hours, it wasn't coming out of the shell. It finally unfolded it's head but still did not emerge. As suggested by Sally, I placed the egg, wrapped in a warm wet paper towel, inside a small cup in the incubator. I went to dinner, and when I came back, there was the chick! Out of the cup!

Next issue: curled toes and umbilical cord still attached! Unfortunately, the chick struggled to move around between the curled toes and the umbilical cord. Once it was somewhat dry, I removed it long enough to give it Nutri Drench ( a live saver btw if you don't have it). I then left it in the incubator until the cord and matter attached to it had dried and fallen off. I put a little bit of Betadine on the piece of cord still attached.

By the next day, one foot straightened out, but the other one still wasn't quite right, so I fashioned a little boot for the chick, placed it in the brooder and gave it Sav A Chick Electrolytes (another chick must have). I also provided it with small bits on scrambled egg yolk.

It's been a week now since this whole uhh adventure? started, but the chicks feet are completely corrected and it seems to be doing great! This was my first ever assisted hatch, and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Sally for your help and advice!!! Here is a little collage of the whole process. I hope this will help someone else!!!!!

"Yet I just heard you closed the deal for $130,000 to the lovely young lady there. You insisted there could be no discount on this model."[/COLOR] [COLOR=000000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=000000]"Well, what can I tell you? She had the ready cash and, just look at her, how could I resist?" replied the grinning salesman.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=000000]Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave them the keys.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=000000]"There you go," she said.

.... Sally, lost a bunch of quotes, but thank you for my morning pic!! It had a Burd in it! (BTW, great job. They had me laughing out loud! )

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Happy birthday!

OMG! A Muscovy just came off her nest with the most unique chocolate I've ever seen! -Kathy

Pics!!

Hershey, Barancini?

Hershy!!!

Love it!!! Pictures or it isnt real

everytime she gets up it makes the humidity and temp drop, the membrane then dries up, if she keeps getting up they will all dry out and get too cold Please leave her alone

Agreed

That looks tasty. I followed the biblical advice on eating for a long time. No fish that didn't have fins and scales, no rodents, etc.. I got it. Most of those things, including pork are bottom feeders. Very unhealthy in biblical times and even now with industrial waste at the bottom of rivers, bays and estuaries. OK, this is a poll. For the people that follow this thread - who eats balut eggs?

Not me. Ever.

Balut would be the most difficult. None of the others seems that bad. I like oyster.

Agreed

My version of Balut. They were fertilized eggs. Lol

of course!!!! you know what I did!!! @Auroradream26 I swore your bday I missed yesterday!!! I seen the 26 on yer name!!! LOL!!! @casportpony you know the rules!!!!! THE SHAME!!!!!
