I had a hen to hatch out 10 chicks Sunday, and today, there's a chick in the nest trying to hatch, but nobody is sitting on the nest!
What do I do, if anything? I don't have an incubator.

Yeah, it's already got it's beak out, and I could see it breathing.
I decided to catch the mom and babies, and make her stay on the nest... I hope that will be okay... I was getting worried about the little guy, so it was the best solution to me.
How long should I keep her on the nest? I just propped something in front of the nest, to keep her and the babies inside.
Well I would give it a couple hrs and then check it again, if it still hasnt zipped I would probably help it anyway...it could still be suction cupped in there and not able to turn and zip
It's pipping good and making it's way out the shell! I took a little of the shell off to help it, but it seems to be doing good on it's own. I'll check it again soon.
Great job!
