    Egg Hatched but cant find the chick

    I agree, and I thank you for all of your kind help. This is a first in all of the years we have bred chickens so it baffled me. I am going to have to watch these little buggers much much more carefully. :)

    Egg Hatched but cant find the chick

    Egg Hatched but cant find the chick

    Yes, I checked in the small space between the wall and the nesting box. That is the only area where it could have gone. No gaps or other spaces in the coop area.
