In the Brooder
Ok so this is kind of our 1st time hatching a bunch of eggs from our own chickens. We have one hen that goes broody every year so last year we had a test run to see if it was possible. We had 1 successful hatch out of 6 eggs. Ironically it turned into a rooster. So this year we're trying again with the broody hen and with an incubator. I had 6 eggs under the broody that are ready to hatch tomorrow but when I went out to feed the chickens today I heard chirping from an egg. The problem though came when I found the egg was cracked and the membrane broken. The chick is alive but there is, like I said above, still membrane and veins. So my big question is, is the chick going to be ok even though it was obviously not quite ready to hatch?
