My eggs are due to hatch next weekend..... When they hatch, can I see what's happening, or should I give the girls privacy and keep away? Do I need to be prepared to rescue anyone or do anything? I've got a waterer and feeder with chick starter in the coop, right in front of where the girls have been sitting. Will they just show the babies what to do? Do I need to get any standby equipment for hand feeding or anything else to have on hand for emergencies? (I know this is all perfectly natural for them, but it's all new to me....)
EDIT it's hatch day and I've got a baby! I just took a stickybeak, there's at least one hatched, two more are pipped. I didn't want to disturb things too much, so I don't know what else is going on under there. I'm so excited, I can't describe it. (I'm a city slicker, what can I say )
