This morning I discovered one of our eggs that was due to hatch in the next day or two, broken, there was lots of blood and a still, cold chick. I was pretty sure it was dead but noticed the slightest of head movement, so I quickly placed in under a heat lamp. It warmed up and is moving and peeping but unable to stand I obviously would like to help it and return it to the mother hen - is this unlikely? Any advice? It is a little silkie chick.
Thanks Mel
