im new here but i have always used the site before bein a member n i love it, but this is my first real concern ive ever had!
in the last week ive had 11 chicks hatch and 5 more comming soon, one specifically had a hard time hatching. it started about 2 days ago, first he broke a blood vessel in his egg or something and blood was all over his face and eyes. i cleaned him off a little nd mad sure his head was out of it. it was enough to worry me. he has been very weak nd didnt even want to move from his egg period. he remained in the bottom half, for a day and half i believe. he finally got out yesterday night, still week, stays balled up, and when he holds his head up it looks like he has like neck spasms, twitching until he lays it down. not normal wiggles. now we on day 3 of this episode....... im going to try sugar water for energy but after that idk..... n e ideas???
