Serama chick stopped zipping - assist?

[AltonaAcres]

Yay! What a sweetie. Good job! How's his/her navel looking? No blood right??

Chickie navel

 

[AltonaAcres]

Looks fine. He'll get better on his feet once he relaxes a little bit

 

[Dancingbirder]

Okay great. I'm worrying about everything now we will keep an eye on him! He is cheeping like crazy!

 

[AltonaAcres]

Don't worry! He's pretty much out of the woods and you did an astounding job and saved him!!

 

[Dancingbirder]

Should I be worried that its eyes aren't open??

 

[AltonaAcres]

You should worry if they don't open within 4 hours. He is probably just fine. It sometimes takes a little time.

It looks ready it doesn’t look like it would hurt it if you did I would.

No it’s just some mistakes people make i wouldn’t say it hurts them just takes a small amount of nutrition from it. I was saying if it’s not ready there is a chance or hurting it. If you thinks it’s ready definitely help it

After having an incident with splay leg on my first hatch, I'm paranoid about slippery surfaces in the incubator. I ordered the shelf liner and will use it next time.

For you more experienced chick moms, is the chick flopping around with no mat a concern?

 

[AltonaAcres]

Nope, pretty normal. Or move him to a warm brooder
