We have got to stop posting at the exact same time! lol. Well they say that if a chick does not hatch out on it's own then it was to weak to live. I have found this to be mostly true. However one of my best chickens was helped out of the egg. She was the only one that made it to hatch day and we decided to help her because she was definately not going to make it on her own. She wasn't even peeping anymore. We hatched her and even though it was like day 25 or something like that she was still a bit premie. She was strong though and we just kept visiting her every couple of minutes and she lived.
