Egg Tooth

[CayleeMarie03]

Hi, I was wondering what age does the egg tooth fall off on a chick?

Typically within a few hours of hatching.

Okay Thank you.

I agree with A. T. Hagan, although with my first chick, Darcy, her egg tooth didn't fall off until she was almost 72 hours old (almost three days!).

What can I do my chicks egg tooth has not fallen off and she is about 6 weeks old?

If the egg tooth is the point on the tip of the bill then my duckling is 3-5 weeks old and still has his egg tooth D: I really hope it doesn't mean anything
