I had one do that the other day that died immediately. Can you tie what with floss?
Do NOT cut. It'll just bleed more. It needs to be tied off to stop the bleeding. If the chick lives, the sac will fall off on its own eventually.
Bring the chick inside and keep it warm. This will hopefully give it a bit more energy and reduce stress. It CANNOT be left with mom or other chickens/chicks, as they'll likely try to peck at the blood and cause further damage/kill the chick.
Good to hear the chick is alert!It’s under a heat lamp away from the chicks and hen, the chick is trying to get up and is very alert, and I was going to tie it of with some floss but I’ll wait a bit
Good to hear the chick is alert!
You should tie off the yolk sac as soon as possible to prevent further loss of blood. The chick will likely be weak for a bit since it won't be able to absorb the remaining yolk, but a weak chick is better than a dead chick!
