    Hatching egges

    sorry, i went off line! no, the chicks won't hurt the unhatched eggs,unless they happen to fall asleep on top of them, and then they could potentially suffocate the chicks inside the eggs if the hatched chicks are fluffy, take them out as fast as you can, but LIGHTLY spray the eggs before...
