TY! I guess you could say she's in bed....tucked under Momma where she's safe and warm anyway. I just pulled Momma's wing up a little to get the picture. Something I would not recommend with just any broody hen. This one is my all time favorite chicken, and has not pecked me at all. We moved her and all eggs and baby chick to a separate brooder to keep her away from the other hens.

I see that your chick hatched out okay!!! Congrats. It really all depends on the chick and how hard the eggshell is. I have had them hatch like yours. They start with a little star pip and then make it bigger and then take a break but I can see movement so I know it's still alive. Then they start to zipp and either do it real fast or zip a little then stop. Zip a little more and take another break and just keep doing that until they hatch.
