I have a broody hen that hatched 4 chicks.. I have 2 late hatch eggs. 1st egg hatched 1 week later. Seemed heathy at 1st but rapidly declined.wobbled around very sleepy. I tried giving egg yolk for an extra boost but kept get worse. I noticed during the day hen didnt sit on the egg at all except at night. I keep her locked up in a small pen, but that didnt work either.. That chic ended up dying on day three.. Now the 2nd egg started pipping 3 days day after removing it from the nest and putting in under a heat lamp with a moist towel in with it.. Egg wasnt on the towel.. Seems like this one is acting the same way all tho he is getting around alittle better than the last. He has spirts. He is eating but havent quite figured out the water unless i syring it to him. Tried the dipping the beak thing..after he was hatched i put him back with momma and siblings. But he cant keep up with them. I did put a heat light in the cage so he dont get cold.. I just dont know what else to do.. I dont want to loose him.. I named him pumpkin... Please help..
