Hi, I have a friend who has a chick that started hatching yesterday afternoon which was day 19. It hasn't made any progress in the last 18 hours. Should the chick be helped yet?

Okay, I kind of thought that might be the best.Thank you.

I have 2 coops. One houses a roo, two hens and three pullets and they all free roam during the day. The roo in this group is a golden laced polish and is a great protector but very agressive towards people. The other coop has a cover run which has a mixed breed roo that is not agreesive and two...

It breaks my heart to hear this but I was worried that was the case. Thank you for the advice.

I was worried that was going to be the answer. I've never had to euthanize before and I'm heartbroken. I don't want my little chick to suffer though. Thank you for the honest advice.

This baby hatched in the middle of the night and has some leg and feet issues. I know what to do for the crooked toes but I'm not sure about his legs. It doesn't seem like like splay leg to me compared to other pics I have seen. One leg is completely straight and won't bend. Anyone that can help?

Yeah, I was pretty sure he was before I asked. But the crowing so early caught me off guard lol.

UPDATE: Number 1 is definitely a rooster. He started crowing today! He hatched on October 17th so he is only two months old. We haven't put the new one chicks in with the rest of our flock but he must have heard our other rooster and decided to give it a whirl. It's the cutest thing ever!

I thought it might be too early to tell for sure. I will post new pics when they get a little older.

I thought the same about #1 but wasn't sure on the other two,

I thought the same thing! My gut feeling has been that he is a boy.

Okay, I thought so too!

Hi, I hatched these three chicks 7 weeks ago. Can anyone tell if these are hens or roos? The mom is a Red Sex Link and the dad is a Golden Laced Polish.Thanks!

It did finally hatch this morning! :)
