My first pip

[belly]

Here is chick number 2 he just hatched but is dragging the egg around with him is that normal ?

 

[Silkie Sue]

i think it is ok
how long has he ( i mean she) been out??
is there any blood or yolk sac that you can see?

 

[belly]

The little one has been out for three hours and still is connected to the egg no blood everything look normal.How long does it take for the little ones to get there legs and start moving normal?

 

[Silkie Sue]

sorry i can't help....
this will be my first incubator hatch...
is it just stuck to the membrane...
i don't know if you should help it
i hope someone else has info
i will sit here and pray for the little chick

 

[belly]

Yes it looks like a very fine piece of string connected to the egg and the little one.

 

[Silkie Sue]

how tempting is it to just free the little guy.....
if there is no blood supply connecting it or attached to a vital part of the chick i don't think it would hurt....
where is it attached to the chick?

 

[belly]

The little one is free from the egg and a third chick has hatched and the two are cuddling together
