May Hatch Thread--Fill up those bators n' broodies!

[jnjmanning]

Can anyone tell me if this is normal looking for a chick that had a yoke sac not totally absorbed? She hatched yesterday, is eating, drinking, running around. I took her out of the incubator a day after hatching. Is there something I should do?

I have no idea, sorry.

I would post this question separately in the chick area with the pic. Someone will have the answer. I would think keeping it clean would be a good idea.

Use neosporin on it to prevent infection and keep an eye on any other chicks pecking at it. I had the same thing last week. Spunky little thing, though. I ended up removing her from the brooder for a few days to allow it to heal/dry better. One week later and she is back with the others, it's drying up and shriveling nicely and she is still spunky.

What day are you on?

That is awesome to hear. Never had that happen to me. Looks scary.
