That's normal. Hatching is hard work, so the chick is probably resting now and absorbing more yolk and blood vessels.Ok so I am a little concerned on this one. Being as it is my first hatch, there is one egg in the nest that is partially broken through, you can see the amniotic sack itself, and there is a rip in it, but I see no movement and can't hear anything. Expecting the worst
No, a beetle brow is desirable. Take a look at these faces face...even they don't have really pronounced brows, understand that anything you decide should be based on your own preferences. You can see how they look like they are mad at the world, that is the look that most breeders are going for. Kind of reminds me of an evil chicken cartoon! Yours all look fine to me!
It is a toss up. I've had them wait almost 24 hours after the first pip to finish the hatch. Usually, it is about 4 hours, but sometimes longer and sometimes shorter. Sorry, not much help from me.
how about eagle eye or hawk eye?No, a beetle brow is desirable.

The same look. A very predatorial look to them when you just look at their faces. Mine tend to look like hawks in the face when they are young, I don't know if that is normal or not, but I like it. Sometimes, I think it has something to do with my colors that make them look that way. My husband calls them pterodactyls or my dinosaur chickens.
thats why i fell in love with the brahma's, the eagle or hawk eyes, i raise english parakeets and i try to breed the same look in them,The same look.

There eyes are also very orange, which gives them that predator bird look. I really like that look as well. It starts to develop at about 3-4 months, that's when you can see what kind of look they have. I don't have any that have a friendly look.....makes my granddaughter afraid to handle the older ones, she thinks they are going to be mean because they look that way.
happy all over again!!!!
