hey all, I just hatched one egg on day 18! shes doing awesome for the first 3 hours peeping and moving. now shes lackluster with labored breathing... anything I can do to help her. I had to move her out of the incubator as she was out and the others were just about to go on lock down! Shes under a heat lamp now.
 
Is she a bantam, by any chance? She hatched out all on her own with no help, and everything look absorbed and the umbilicus looks good?

You could try giving her some poultry nutri-drench, which should perk her up. She might just be tiring and resting after hatching.
