    Hatchling Emergency

    EDIT: The little baby sadly passed away. My neighbor's husband went and cracked the egg, neither of us know how or why. I removed some of the dry membrane (looking at its condition a wet cloth might not be good). I can't tell if he hit a vessel, but it does still move and we can see a...

    Any possibility of hatching eggs after 5 weeks?

    I have a bantam hen, who is sitting on around 11 eggs from last 5 weeks. Should I wait more? On end of week4, I thought may be eggs are bad, so I took one of the eggs and break it, but found a chicken inside it which also have some movements!
