Can't go that far have to eat whpat I have

It was just lucky that my brother goes past the hatchery on the way home from my nieces specialist appointments so no extra drive to get them, just a stop to pick up the chicks on the way past. We have been slow growing them to try and get a few breeding birds out of them.

Any ideas as to what may cause infected and ruptured yolk sacs in she'll?

Poop/dirt on the eggs? Contamination in the bator? Something passed along from the parents? Malpositions?

Eta - shipped eggs?

Thanks. Some were a bit dirty, and not exactly shipped but did travel about 6 hours int the bottom of a car in some very rough travel.

Yea I was just tossing out thoughts. I do think rough travel could possible upset some weaker membranes. Really impossible to guess though.

Congrats on the hatch though. Sounds like it was great overall!
