Hi all.
I HAVE A CHICK TOTALLY TRAPPED IN DRIED MEMBRANE!
Egg pipped at midday on Saturday (uk time here). It quickly unzipped, but then seemed very stuck. I have read a lot about this sort of thing, and knew to just wait 24 hours. The next day, two further chicks had hatched, but not this...
Hey there everyone!
This is my 3rd hatch, first hatch with my silkie mix chicks. They are hybrid.
Of my 10 ferilized banty eggs 8 hatched, 1 passed away .. it was the runt unfortunately.
One of the chicks I had to do an assisted hatch on has a weird issue I've yet to read about though!

So, I have a baby chick who was born two days ago and since she doesn't seem like she's been well at all. I just discovered today her yolk sac is still attached and it seemed to make sense as to why she's been acting slow. For the past couple of days her eyes are for the majority of the time...
I currently have 5, 4 day old Silver appleyards. I got them from a local farm and feed store who ordered them in for me. They are all doing good except 1. He/she seems to have part of the yolk not fully absorbed. (Its not the vent). Its black and seems to not be going down in size. Ive been...
3:30 am i heard chirping ao i looked in my incubator and saw a chick trying to hatch then i noticed the yolk was still there so i took a barely even considered damp paper towel and placed it around it, in a cup. It is acting fine chirping and alert. When do i take it out of the cup???im scared...
