Hen or Roo?

This little nugget just hatched in my hands, so you know the drill: identify it’s pronouns

Way too early. Give it 6-8 weeks. Please do not take eggs out of the incubator while hatching.

The baby was nearly fully zipped so I gave it some stimulation. I did not hurt it, I did the same thing mother hens do (tapping on the egg). Also obviously it’s too early to tell, especially as it wasn’t fully out of the shell, it’s a joke.

They can still get shrinkwrapped when mostly zipped.

Frankly, we get posts from people who are dead serious and do something like this, so it didn't strike me as a joke.
Mother hens don't really tap the shell, they sit harder to keep everyone warm and damp.

I think we’re in the clear. It fully hatched in my hand with no issues, quite vigorously too from the stimulation.
