Live chick in trouble - graphic pics - help!

He was not a fan of the rinsing. His energy seems so low... just breathing and occasionally chirping when I move him. I have removed the top of the bator, and placed the rest of it under a brooding light, set to about 95-100 degrees. The humidity has dropped to 50 and I think it will continue to drop a bit more. We will see how it goes after he dries off - maybe the remainder of the yolk will dry up (it is starting to, a bit), or maybe he will absorb it. The yolk is attached to him a bit more than I had originally thought. I am not optimistic.

I've got my fingers crossed for the poor little guy. Good luck.

Us too! Dunno how long it will last, but it is certainly a nice change!

I am hoping to make it up to Scotland soon... any parts I just have to see to make my trip complete?

I'll PM you. I could go on forever and I don't want to hijack your thread with my Scottish Tourist Board advert.

Good luck hope the outcome is good.

His energy levels are going up - lots of chirping and a bit of moving around - and the yolk is shrinking and is not attached by much anymore.

I gotta tell you, it this baby makes it, it will be a modern day miracle.

Still hoping for the best.
