my chicks are hatching But im loosing them I had 9 2 did not make it out the shell so i tryed helping them and I lost 4 more I got 3 alive but one it very week and 2 more cracking out now what do i do if they cant get out
If you have to help them out of shell, gently pick the shell, in a small zip, around the egg without breaking the membrane. Then wet the exposed membrane with some warm water (make sure you don't get any in chicks face/beak) and put the egg back in bator. The chick should be able to get out on its own then. They are a little weak sometimes when they come out and will lie there quietly for awhile before attempting to get up. If they're out, they're o.k.
