    Chick with broken/dislocated jaw

    Hi. I have some 2 1/2 week old chicks. One of the chicks has an un-lined jaw and I'm concerned. It could be broken or dislocated or just defected, not sure. It seems to be eating and drinking on its own. Can I do anything to make it better? Or is it best to humanly put it down?? Thanks

    It pipped on the total wrong side. One thing I didn't see in either articles was how long to let it be. It's been 24 hours since it pipped, so when should I assist? It's only day 19 of the incubation though

    I have pips!

    Also, is it worth attempting to put more water in to raise the humidity? Or would that hurt the chicks even more? How long does it take to hatch?

    I have pips!

    This is my first time incubating. 4 out of the 7 eggs are on track to hatch. 2 of them weren't suppose to match until Monday but the pipped this morning! The bad news: I didn't see the 2 pips so I opened the incubator to take out the egg turner and put more water in for hatching. The two...

    Lockdown

    What if one chick hatches, but the others haven't yet?? Do I just leave it in there? How long can it stay in there? And I've been reading about putting damp paper towels underneath the eggs, to help with humidity. Is that okay? Any luck/tried that before?
