What's wrong with my chick! Please Help!!!!?

Question

I'm hatching 4 baby chickens and one just exploded! I can't explain it just blew up and now I'm crying! I've been watching them all night! How could this happen?! What should I do?! What went wrong? HELP ME!!!!!

Answer 1

maybe you were keeping the egg way too warm.

Answer 2

The chick exploded, or the egg? If it was the egg just keep the chick warm, if it was the chick...

Answer 3

the light was too high/hot for the baby chick.

i'm soo sorry! kind of the same thing happened to me :[

Answer 4

O.O it exploded??? eep....well it was probably because the light was too hot  

Answer 5

Well if the chick didn't explode you'll be fine. The shell must have been really strong, the chick gave pressure, and then it just went pop (Kinda like the domino effect). Don't be worried unless the chick exploded!

Answer 6

The egg was kept too warm. My friend was breeding her zebra finches and gave an egg to her other friend and she kept it under a really warm lamp that was set way too high and the same thing happened. Make sure you watch the temperature very closely. Sorry about what happened! Good luck though on the others!

Answer 7

for one calm down. you may have had the light to high and if that's the case get a lower watt light. did you have the incubator right? did you follow all the rules for it. this may just be a one time thing. but i think it may have been the light was way too strong you have 3 others just be more careful that's all
