Power cut

[Blueoriental]

I had a power outage for 13 hours...15 Call and Mini Appleyard eggs....They are all thriving....Due next week....Your eggs will be fine.....

I can hear chirping!

hi there, she has been like this for 4 hours! Shall I help her?

 

[chickens really]

No, not yet....Keep waiting....

 

[chickens really]

Did you chip that away ?.....I see blood still in the veins....

You do not want to start assisting too early or the Duckling will not thrive and you could cause a bad bleed....It could stay in that position for hours....Right now it is resting and absorbing the yolk...They rest lots before they ever start to zip out..It could be 24 hours before it hatches after it externally pips the shell....

I had one a couple of months ago that died in its shellI always panic now, will it be ok with blood?

 

[chickens really]

What do you mean?.....Is it bleeding?...Did you make that hole?....I cant help if you don't explain in detailed info?...

 

[chickens really]

If it's bleeding ?...It could bleed out and die...

You can put Vaseline on that membrane to keep it moist using a Q-tip...Do not glob it on....Never use water as it will draw out the moisture ...
