Zombie Chick

[Age-of-Goositude]

So today my Amerecauna Apple, got off her nest that was due to hatch the next couple days she left and didn't care, one pipped they were freezing, no breath, no heartbeat from what I could tell at 7AM then cause I have been moving houses and birds all day I hear peeping where I tossed the dead eggs//scraps go to the opossum//, it was that chick, somehow they were trying to live swarming with ants. I cleaned them off warmed them up till they kicked off the shell they're okay and with a different more caring mommy.

The will to live can be amazingly strong. So glad you heard them and were able to get them safe.

How many hatched? Also, never throw out cold chicks or eggs because they appear to be dead, always warm them up first and see if they start to move around again. When a chick, or developing egg, or almost any young animal, gets cold they go into a weird state that is almost like hibernation, their heartbeat slows down, they stop moving, and they breath less. Chicks and developing eggs can last up to 8 hours like this, once they get warmed up they "come back to life." A cold chick or egg is not necessarily a dead chick or egg.

Oh I didn't know, just this one even pipped, wish my incubator wasn't trashed
