Can it not get up on its own? Like stand up? if not, use the coffee mug. Mine couldnt even lift its head up. But its just fine now!

It has a little difficulty, but it can stand, as well as lift it's head up.

I put 8 cuckoo marans and two blue orps under a hen yesterday so we will be close hatchers. Yikes that evening I found a black snake full of eggs in another part of the hen house. Whew!! I am glad he was not in the more secure broodie room. Gloria Jean

The major thing you have to look out for is that it can eat and drink on its own. If it can't do those things, it isn't going to be a happy bird. If in a few days if can get around and eat and drink, you're probably ok to leave it with the others.

Today is my hatch day! Finally!!! I'm going out to check the broody. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Update: Last night one had pipped and this morning another has pipped. The one that pipped first is really working hard at getting a good hole to hatch out of. I'll try to get some pics along the way. I figure the rest will pip today and most should hatch tonight.

This is by far not my first hatch, but I get excited every time.
