Oh my.. This is so familiar to me right now.. I have one who was pipped and the others still in the incubator were pecking the egg horribly. I didn't figure it would get out with them doing that. I left and came back and it was half out of the shell. I think they pecked it out but not sure. The top half of the egg was gone. I left it because it was a MESS. Very extra wet and goofy and figured maybe the yolk was not all absorbed and at least the bottom half was still in the shell. Went away and came back about half an hour later and it was clear across the incubator with another little one sitting on top of it. Ok... I guess, but there was a lot of yuck in the shell it came out of. Went away again and when I rechecked, it was on its back and one pecking it's head and 3 pecking it's umbilicus ... Which looks a lot like yours in the picture. So I just cracked the side and pulled it. It has a piece of shell stuck on top of its head and is as hard as a rock. I put it in the brooder on a towel to hold it into position ( upright). I think those guys are turning into cannibals! Have two more trying to get out of the shells but the others won't leave them alone. At what point do I pull the babies just to save the ones still not hatched. There are 12 in there being bullies.. All hatched yesterday evening and thru the night, so all are less than 24 hours old.So today I checked on my eggs i have 5 chicks that hatched 1 RIP during hatch. and 1 of the chicks isn't looking too good.
It has a red thing in/on/by his butt and is laying on his/her back.
I don't know what to do. He's lying on hi/sher back. I took her out for a sec to take the picture. I hope she will be alright.
Anybody know what this is??? IF she/he will survive?
I have 4 other chicks 1 was hatched at 9am and the other around 4pm and then later in the evening. when do you put them in the brooder box?
Love that... FunnyI have 3 chicks and 3 eggs that are still in the bator, no pips on them. But unexpectedly a WHOLE bunch of quail popped early and there are 7 of them in there playing ping pong with my other eggs...
. I've taken to calling her plank.
