Well Number 4 that hadnt absorbed the yolk sack, now has intestines coming out. I tried to wrap him in a small warm wet towel to keep him immobilized, but when i went to check on him later, i found that the sack had come out more and the intestines were coming out as well. He is still alive and moving around in the bator but Im not sure what I should do. Ive tried to search on here to see what can be done. to no avail

Well I did more searching and even on google, found a few people say to try to push it back inside carefully with a q tip, that i had pulled the cotton off of on one end and made it small enough by unrolling half of it, , let it sit in water for about a min to soften up, was able to wet down the intestines, so they werent sticky, and was able to have the daughter help hold the legs while i held the chick on its back, we got them pushed back in, and I cant tell which one it was about an hour later, they all look the same. all are sitting around drinking and eating some softened starter. I guess only time will tell.

I was hoping to see more pics from everyone else tonight, but i guess its only day 21

I am so glad you were able to save it. I think they are tough and stronger than we think. I still don't even have a pip yet. But it is only 7:20pm here and they are not due to hatch until tomorrow...it is soooooo hard to be patient!

all of ours hatched early, i put them in on the 27th. The first one hatched on the 14th, and the rest on the 15th.

That looks fantastic, I still keep checking on them about every hour, and i see improvement every time i check on them.
