[COLOR=008080]NAVELS  She HATCHED! But what's with her butt?[/COLOR] post #25012  

So do I take her out of the bator?


Edit: yuk, she is gonna need a bath! All covered in that sticky shtuff!

Ok, this chick needs some help... And so do I... It kicked out, but it is clearly a sticky chick and its feathers are hard. It has eggshell bits stuck to it, and a slightly unabsorbed yolk. What do I do??

just iodine it its fine!!

AWESOME!!!!

Well, there is NO way that I can keep up with all the posts but I'll try! I couldn't take it any longer and bought an incubator and ordered some Icelandic eggs. Not too many for my first time hatching chicken eggs, just 8. I did hatch a bunch of ducklings some years ago for the pond. I'll have to read up again and learn the differences.

Now I have to go tell my wife what I did. If I don't give any updates, tell the authorities to check the pond for my body!

are they local or shipped! Mike has Icelandic's! and I have some of his in my bator!!!

I believe that the general consensus. Help get it the help it needs and the others won't pick at it.
