I have a 9 month old ISA brown. Last night we noticed her sitting a lot. We are in Arizona and it’s hot. 106 yesterday and a few weeks ago we had a week of 115 and everyone was fine. We let everyone out and she went out and was pecking around but would t walk far, just sat down and pecked...
This is a baby chick from our own flock. No new birds have ever been introduced. We bought all the birds at the same time and this is one of their babies.
When would you help? Easter egger pipped wrong end over 24 hours ago. I pulled the shell yesterday and got her some air. I can see her beak and it’s moving and yawning still. One egg has hatched and a second will be hatched in the next hour... when should I help her more??
So it’s 115° here in Arizona. I check on our chickens and then two hours later went back to a new egg... the egg is HOT. Like hotter than when the hens lay on them. It’s only been a couple hours but are they either needing to continue incubating now or can it cool off?! Or is it ruined?!

Our silkie twins are hatching today! Hopefully. This morning one pipped on the wrong end, as we assumed he would. I pulled the shell away and put bacitracin on the membrane. We can see his beak but no movement. Not sure if he’s alive anymore since he poked thru his membrane and there’s still a...

We have a silkie egg that is set to hatch March 26. There are TWO babies inside! We candled them today and they are both moving separately. I am fully aware there may be a death or two in this situation but would appreciate any advice or suggestions... if anyone has had experience in this area...
Is this baby dead? It’s a silkie and it didn’t pip until day 23... and over 24 hours later now and nothing else has happened. I was advised to candle it... which I did in the incubator in an attempt to not lose too much heat/humidity. No movement. Is this a bad sign?
