The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Cynthia12]

We had to assist but the chick is alive!
however its neck is crooked. How can we help that.

Don't bother it for a while. Let it wake up first. May take a day. The neck may be fine.

Quote: My broodies are bent on making this even more true for me. I will admit it. I no longer even have a clue as to how many chickens I have. And I'm not counting either.

I went to my son's school tonight and he listed out his favorite food, color, and pets. He wrote on his that we have 46 chickens.

He's too low, we have a lot more than 46.

That is gorgeous! Where did you get it and how do I get one too?

Manna Pro sells them.

I got a 5 yr badge!!! Has it really been 5 years?!?!?

Cool! Congrats!

It's neck may just be curled from it's position in the egg. Keep an eye on it though. Vitamins will help it.

Did I do the right thing? I'm frwaking out.... I was watching one of the eggs hatch and she started bleeding out. The first thing i thought to do was go grab flour And pack the wound. She ripped he cord away from the egg to early is what it looked like but there was a lot of blood so I could be wrong.... anyway its been about an hour and she's still moving and peeping but now I'm kind of afraid I might have given her more of a chance to get infection...??? I don't know. WhT do you guys think?

Had the chick already hatched and was bleeding from the umbilical, or was it still in the egg and pipped a vein?
