My hen is hatching chicks, we are on day 19 (Monday) and hatch day is this Wednesday. Today I was checking on everything and noticed an eggs was cracked, thinking she accidentally stepped in it. Do I need to do anything about this? Will the chick be ok?
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
A hen cracked open this egg but the baby chick is still pippin and moving a bit.
It's been 19 days since her incubation started but doesn't seem ready to break through yet.
What can be done to save her?
I'd appreciate any help/experience 🙏🙏
I have a silkie chicken who has been sitting on one egg religiously. It pipped today, I came back out to check on it and mom had gotten up to eat and another chicken stepped on the egg cracking it more. There was a little bit of blood noted but through the pup hole it was still moving. I placed...
I was candling my eggs and one slipped as I went to set it down on the table and cracked (this particular egg already had a tiny chip in it).
What can I do?
It is day 11 and there is a viable, moving chick inside. I do not own an incubator and my husband already said I could not go buy one...
