I helped the other chicks hatch. But now their navels are a bit open, not closed like the Silkhorn was. What should I do? Should I put them under the heat lamp? If i take the hatched chicks out of the 'bator and put them under the heat lamp to dry and fluff up will their navels close up?
Their navels arn't very bloody or anything, but aren't really closed up. Otherwise, the chicks are fine, flopping around in the incubator just like any other newborn chick.
Anyone???? Thank you so much!!!!
