Chirping
So I am in the middle of hatching EE's and Silkies. I have never hatched silkies before so it is something new. I knew that they could have a vaulted skull however the first 3 that hatched had normalish skulls. Then this one hatched and I am wondering if it is normal. He hatched a few hours ago and that is what he looked like right when he hatched. He pipped on the wrong end and made no progress for over 24 hours. I had to help him out of his shell. Membrane was good, no blood, yolk fully absorbed. He is now up and walking around but he is being kept separate with a splayed leg one who is taped up. The other chicks immediately wanted to peck his head when they saw him. Other than his hairless vaulted skull he is doing great. So... is this normal or is he a broken baby.
