Split Belly

[Saviors4us]

Have you ever hatched a chick that looked like this on the belly?
I have no idea what to do!

She seems fine in every other way!

I don’t know what to do.

What would you do!?

I don't think it's a prolapse. I'm not sure..

@Eggcessive is an expert who could help.

Wow, it does look like her belly got cut open.
I would maybe try to stitch it or super glue it shut? I'm sure culling will be suggested, but you can try giving her a chance if she seems ok. Don't expect too much though, she could quit at any time.

Also, I would put her on a clean towel instead of wood chips. If she gets anything inside of her belly she'll die from infection.

I did! She happened to be first one I pulled out. Thought about immediately culling, but she was walking around, went to the food. I’m shocked! So I moved her to a space with a towel inside the brooder, but separate.

It looks like it may be closing up. So I don’t know what happened!

It does look like that! I just don’t understand how that would happen in the incubator! I’ll have to really look it over after everyone is out!

I’ll see how she’s doing in the morning after a round of nutra-drench.

I wish you luck!!! You'll want to try to close it up in some way. I'm glad she's doing so well though! Keep us posted please!!!

Keep us posted please!!!

She was doing great until yesterday. I don’t know what happened, but she didn’t pull through. She appeared to just get weaker and weaker.

It’s probably for the best. It wasn’t healing up quite right.


Thanks guys!
