Was that your last chick? Are they all doing well?
My last one to hatch was a big chick, too. He was TIGHT in that shell and I had to help him out, bloody face and all.

No not the last one I have 5 eggs left. So I put in 28 eggs, 2 quit so that brought me down to 26. Then the one that DIS, so 25. I have 20 chicks now including the one that just hatched. 5 eggs to go!

And yes they are doing very well, all the little floofer-balls in the brooder are laying waste to my clean efforts to clean the brooder out

Not that I can tell.

Ok, so the chicky is doing mostly fine. But she seems to be kind of weak or something because she had her feet curled up and she was peeping and flopping. it's just weird that's all so I'm wondering if I should try feeding her chick crumble and water. Just wondering because I don't want to lose this one too. Please tell me what I should do!

2 of the eggs in lockdown have pipped. A little early again but so far none have had issues baking a little quicker
