My hen came off her nest this morning,she has eight chicks.In the nest were two unhatched eggs and two that had started to hatch.I assumed the two were dead and set them aside.I came back a couple of hours later to dispose of them and a leg moved. I stupidly tore off the shell.I know that was wrong to do,but was not thinking straight.I now have the chick in my gas oven,over the pilot light(oven off).He is moving(kind of flailing) and peeping a little,but does not seem able to stand.Is there any hope for him? I just do not want him to suffer.Please let me know anything I can do for him.Thanks!!
