THEY ARE ALIVE! help please!

Yes, get the head free if possible. Once they get to a certain point the head will swell in there and kill it....just remember to peel S-L-O-W and stop the very instant you see blood.

Prayers going out to you all day. How many do you have, hope ya can save them. Hang in there steady and slow

I am so confussed. No beak on #4 either. They seem to be upside down. It is alive but I can't find the beak. they were small side down

 

[Kessidy]

we had 6 eggs, one dead, 3 still alive 2 left untouched

Do the same with number 4. Peel back the shell and membrane and locate the hea. Get that free so they can breath. Otherwise, you will eventually lose them. Try to keep bleed down and humidity up! Again, JMO.

Your temps were definatley to low. Live and learn! Be have all been there!

 

[Broke Down Ranch]

Well see, if the temps have been too low the entire time then they may not be moved into position to hatch yet. How is chick #1 doing? Right now I think just up your temp by 1-2 degrees according to that thermometer you have and keep the membranes wet then just wait....

 

[tiffanyh]

Broke, your right. But the hatch rate past Day 24 is VERY low, maybe if she can at least clear the head to get a flow of air, then leave the rest for them to do??

 

[Kessidy]

the first looks great. he has a good part of the head out. I am just leaving him alone except to moisten. The other two i can't find the head at all. I went to the edge of membrane and it is gone. We are at the end of day 24, almost to 25

 

[Kessidy]

2 more dead. So 3 dead, one looking good, 2 with no beak to be seen.
