Ok... I have been googling... ALWAYS bad when you are looking for information regarding "chicks"

Maybe y'all can help...


I have one chick... not hatched, but alive, and WEIRD!!!


OK.... I popped open a tiny hole to see, and then made it bigger to figure out what was going on... this is what I found:

- most of the blood had dried up... so it looked like it was at the point that a little bit of struggling to escape the egg would finish drying up blood etc.

-yolk is completely absorbed, navel closed

- most of the membrane up by the aircell looked normal... but towards the egg wall the inner membrane was very much like jello.... NOT the normal super thin membrane, but THICK and jello like.

- there was a little bit (SMALL amount) of the yellow amber like stuff on the chick between chick and membrane ... I am sure this little bit of "sticky chick" was due to the big humidity drop when I left that one egg in the incubator and cleaned every thing else out.

- there was however, also some yellowish foam bubbling out of the chick's mouth.

-it almost looks like the upper side of the the neck and head of the chick is a bit swollen, I gently pushed down on that swollen area, and more foamy stuff ended up in the chick's mouth.

- I cleaned it all up... the chick looks good for a chick that should be dead.... but it isn't dead.... I put it back in the incubator.

-it is peeping well, and moving a bit, no very good "push itself out of the egg" thrusts, but not bad.

-disease? genetic? total huh???
