Chicks like that go into a tea cup so that the yolk is not ruptured by the other chicks.

When the umbilical cord is dry you can cut it off if it does not absorb. You can cut it earlier but it might bleed and would need to be tied off with thread or dental floss if so.

The chick should be fine but will be hungry since it did not completely absorb the yolk

Chicks hatching like that is very common with shipped eggs

Put it in a tea cup, or small plastic container, shell, and all. It helps if it's semi-dark, so it sleeps.

you need to get a draft horse.... The following video shows Draft Ponies Logging. Its an awesome video. No hoses or air cleaners or getting stuck in the mud for them

That is a lot of animal to feed year round for someone who is pulling in a few cords of wood per year That may be why tractors became popular, you only feed them when they work

Perris says I'll be able to tell, by the weight, in time.

Do you have a scale? Put the pot on it and pour in 1 cup of water, record. Pour in another cup, record, etc. Then you can put the "who knows how much is left" pot on the scale and KNOW how much is left

I am going to check into that Black and Decker Vortex. Espresso will be off the list once I move home. So have to either make cold brew or Brewed coffee.

I just watched a video of a guy who rediscovered the percolator. Simple, cheap and you can decide how strong you want your coffee by adjusting the time it perks. Nothing to break, never have to buy a new one.

We have a couple stove type percolator's they do make great mud
remember Dad he wanted it mud

@penny1960 you might want to try to get a few drops of vitamin/sugar water into the little early chick.

I have 10 eggs staring in my incubator right now and 3 broody hens that they will go under on Sunday if they look viable, which I have no reason to believe they won't 4 are bantam, the other 6 are hopefully from my Fayoumis. I want to make sure I have viable eggs started before I turn them over to the hens.

That is how we ended up with a french press.

We have a metal one, (metal double wall, insulated), so it doesn't break when you drop it. Super easy to use and clean. The insulated double walls means it stays hot for a long time.

All you need are coffee grounds and hot water, and then tada, coffee!

We use an electric water kettle that is dummy proof to boil the water. If we have no electricity we boil water on the wood stove.

It is so super simple, foolproof and strong.
