Yolky Hatchling

[Chix-in-GA]

Hey all...My last little Delaware that hatched came out with a bit more yolk on it than I have seen before.

The chic dried OK but has a lot of sticky left on it...also some eggshell bits too.

Can the chic be cleaned? and if so...how or with what?

Or should I just let the chick take care of it?

A warm, damp washcloth (water, no soap) can be used to get off the worst of it. Then you can put the little fellow in the brooder to dry off

Thanks SB...you are the Bomb.

I will do that and then we are off to the poultry show in Lake city.

Do you have any pics of the chicks?
