What in the heck.....HELP please

[JenHarmon]

Ok this chick hatched earlier today. I have no idea what is wrong with it. It is peeping and moving around in the incubator...i took it out briefly for the pics.....do we need to put it down?

Just wait. It may end up being OK.

Pretty sure it just needs time to absorb the yolk, i think you can put it in a cup? Definitely keep it away from the others.

An old thread with same issue.

We had a bird with full absorption, but not full closure... All we did was take a qtip soaked in iodine and wipe it daily (maybe a couple times a day, can't remember exact frequency)

Put it back in the bator and keep the humidity as high as possible, hopefully it will absorb the rest.

Luckily it is the only chick in the incubator.
