Chirping egg

[Bluebottlebunnyfarm]

I just brought in my eggs this morning and one is chirping. I have a hen setting on some eggs but 3 eggs were out of the nest. I thought they were just new eggs some other hen just laid. But turns out not. The chic has pecked a little hole in the shell. I put the egg in a paper towel lined bowl on my kitchen counter. What should I expect as far as time and everything. I’m new to chicken hatching. This was just an experiment in letting nature take its course. I have no idea what I’m doing here. Help?

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! Good luck with hatching that chick in a bowl.

Chicks need a certain amount of humidity and warmth to continue hatching. Do not force the shell off... the chick needs time to finish absorbing the yolk. Can you put the egg back with the broody hen. Are her other eggs starting to hatch as well?
If the broody won't take the chick back, it will need a brooder with a heat source immediately. Food and water can wait a day or so, the yolk will be enough nutrition to start with.
Do start another thread as @Leahs Coop mentioned to help you through the hatching process. Good luck!

I just put it back under the hen. I’m fix to put the other ones back too. The hen had kicked these eggs out of the nest so that’s why I thought they were new eggs of another hen. I moved this thread. How do I delete it here?

 

[feathermaid]

Sorry, threads can't be deleted. I asked for help on your other thread.

If the hen kicked the eggs out she might not be interested in hatching or being a mom... sometimes hens just like to sit... you might not be able to count on her to finish the job

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You can just leave this as your introduction thread and introduce yourself!
I hope your broody does well with that egg and the rest

Welcome Nice to have you here! Hopefully your broody will finish and the chick(s) hatch successfully.
