Help! I'm totally new to chickens, hatchings, etc.
I have 2 hens with eggs and chicks (about 3days old). Do the eggs all hatch on the same day usually?
I have found an egg with a half hached chicken. I found it laying to one side and cold. (the mother hen in sitting outside the nesting box). At first I thought the chick was dead, but now see there is slight movement and the beak opens and closes slightly. Is this normal? should the chick be making any peep sounds? should i bring it into a warm environment?
AS I said, I'm totally new to all this ..but loving it!
