incubator help again.. :/

They can live up to 3 days without food and water. Off their yolk sac.

What day did she hatch on?

If she's about out I wouldn't worry about humidity.

Give her some time to see if she gets out on her own.

she just started coming out today.. ok I will try and be patient.. I am all worried now.. don't want another dead baby..
 
Any update on the hatcher
She just popped out of the shell just now!! She is preaty limp (not sure if that is normal or not. She is resting now.. but once she got a foot out of the shell she shoved the rest of the shell off.. is it normal for her to not be moving a lot .. I know she just got out and she is still wet. she has a bit of a bloody spot on her belly is that normal?

Here are a few pics of her.. she is still in the incubator on a warm rag.. should I keep her in there or take her out and put her under a lamp so she can dry out?

She does not have very many feathers.. the mother that layed the egg is a naked neck chicken and daddy is a red rock rooster so she might have taken after her momma.. :)

NN!!! I'd leave her in the bator at least until she's up and moving around.
 
I'd leave her in the bator. Til she's fully dry and moving.

That bit of blood and. Yolk should absorb and dry out.

It's not bleeding a bunch is it

no... the only blood is just the little bit in the picture.. it is not a constant bleed.. it will dry up with the rest of the sack I guess.. I hope she starts moving around good and does not die on me.... I already have medicated water powder and a heating lamp ready for her I just need to wait for her to get her little rear moving..

her belly is ok though? that is normal for them to have a little bit of blood and a bit of the sac left?
It should be. You can put bacitrcin or non pain relief neosporin if you'd like to keep bacteria out. It's just a little membrane from the cord left over. Should dry right up and the "navel" should close fine.
