I was advised by an old-time breeder that chicks that are helped from the egg will have issues with their legs and feet. This is because they have not stimulated the blood flow into the legs and feet by pushing up against the shell to move themselves out of the shell.
This is another reason for not doing more than keeping the membrane from drying out by checking the humidity level on the hatcher.
