The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Chaos18]

I've had chicks popping out everywhere. Yesterday there was no movement in the bator except on pip that had pipped the morning before. Yesterday night, I noticed some blood around the pip. This had happened once before, and I'd researched what to do when they pip through a vein. I peeled back just enough shell to get cornstarch on the vein, and put her back in. The bleeding had stopped this morning, but she still hadn't made any progress. I got her out the rest of the way. Turns out, her umbilical cord had snapped too early on and she had been bleeding for awhile, with a good bit in the bottom of the egg. Still alive and peeping her head off, I got the bleeding stopped and held her keeping her warm until I was sure it wasn't going to start back. She is back in the incubator sleeping now. She seems okay, and I hope she's doing better when she wakes up. Anything else I can do? I've helped countless chicks and have never had anything like this happen. Any help is appreciated!

Iodine or betadine on the wound so that others won't pick at it, will also help to disinfect it.

  How many Trader Joe eggs made it? 

Good morning!! I didn't get eggs labeled fertile, just free range, cage free. Zero of mine were fertile. I was told to look for ones marked fertile.

That's a great hatch

Yes. My best. I did have a surprise hatch. Well simi hatch. It was stuck. I hope it makes it. Still has some yoke showing and a lot of blood vines were not absorbed. Hope he/she makes it but I'm prepared if not.

Sorry I've been AWOL these past few days. My dads doing worse. More damage from the strokes than thought. I'm so tired.

Thanks and will do! She is up stumbling around the bator. Though it seems like egg goo has dried around her eyes and she can't open them. Should I wash with a warm damp cloth, or wait it out and hope it falls off?
