I had to assist hatch a detatched air cell complicated egg a month ago that had a mother hen so a natural hatch as the membrane had shrink wrapped . Chick perfectly healthy and happy . A miracle .

How was the hatch in the end?

Wondering if this is boy or girl chick?

I would like to introduce a mother hen and her one month old Frizzle chick who used to be part of the flock -(2 Pekins and one white silky) The 2Pekins became broody together . Nearing hatch day I only had one egg going to hatch due to detatched air cell complications with the other eggs ...

Great news the little chick is chirping away today . 🎉🥳💫🌸🌺🐔🐣

Chick hatched miraculously with alot of from myself .

I am also wondering whether a broody hen can successfully hatch eggs with saddle shaped air cells?

I have just received six eggs in the post and we’re now on day three and I’ve just candled them and they’re looking as though they have saddle shaped air cells. I have two broody Pekins who I wanted to hatch through them so just wondering if there’s any help at all if I just let nature take...

I have ten day old chicks and their mother . So far the mother has only been eating chick crumbs since they hatched she had mixed corn through the three week hatch. Can I give her corn again with her chicks whilst they have the chick crumb?

Thanks here are the babies 🐣🐥🐥

Luckily four chicks hatched this afternoon 🐣🐣🐣🐣
