First time hatcher question???

Chris,

Sometimes it is just an accident that the chick is unable to get out. Some restriction in the shell that kept it from turning fully to the large end or whatever.

A couple of chicks I have helped have died. I would have to guess around 300+ have lived. I have shown them, bred from them, and eaten their eggs. I have a REAL hard time with your statement on a lot of levels but will let the results stand for themselves.

The OP informed me by PM that she assisted in the hatching of her chick and that he is alive and well in the brooder.

Great news, the little guy just needed a little help!!! I helped him by chipping away some of the shell last night, I think he was just tired and weak, he kept peeking out but just couldn't seem to get enough energy to make the final push so once I helped out, he finished the rest and is now in brooder with his brothers and sisters happy and healthy just chirpping as loud as he can, lol. Everytime I get out of there site they go nuts, it's so sweet! Thanks so much for the advise AV Brahmas, I don't think this one would have made it without it!!
