HELP... baby chick!!!

[midwestmilkmaiden]

I have a hen that just hatched out 3 chicks and is running around the coop.. I went to check her nesting spot and there's an egg peeping!.. The mama hen isn't sitting on it anymore!!!.

What do I do!!!????? I don't want it to die!!! ...and I don't have an incubator!!!

HELP PLEASE!

My aunt used a cardboard box and her stove to hatch some eggs her broody left behind.
She got out a box, put some paper towels in the bottom, put in a small butter tub with a wet wash cloth in it and turned on her stove. She put the box on TOP of her stove and put the eggs in and covered the box with a towel. She put in 4 eggs and 3 days later she had 4 chicks hatch with no problems. And she didn't even have a thermometer or hygrometer, lol

I made a short term incubator out of an old 10 gal aquarium and desk lamp and wet wash cloths, I did however have a thermometer and hygrometer but it worked.

Use whatever you have on hand for a heat source, humidity and a box to keep the heat and humidity close to the egg. If it fails, at least you tried

Good luck ^.^
