Hi,
I may have jumped gun on helping a chick out.
Pipped and nothing after for about 8- 9 hours.
Removed part of top of shell, membrane was getting dried out, humidity was still 70%.
Soaked with some warm water, wrapped in warm paper towel. Left back in, checked later, removed some more egg shell.
He finally popped out no yolk, looks ok, BUT
he is still kind of "shaped with a curve like egg"
He is curved to the left, can't stand up, falls over to his left and then ends up on his back. His left eye looks closed, (probably because he ends up laying on it when he falls.) He is dry, fluffy, and peeps.
But just not getting the standing and straightening out.
What should I do?
I have been lifting him up and putting him on his feet, he tries and then falls to the left.
Even his little neck/head is tucked to the left.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you,
Angela
