One of my hens just hatched four eggs in the last week. Two survived, and today there is another baby on the way. Only thing is she looks stuck, one wing out and you can only see one side of its face and you can hear it chirping loudly. Its been a few hours that she's been in this position, now momma hen keeps pecking around the hole & I'm not so sure if she's helping amd accidently hurting the baby or what but that baby gets louder when momma starts pecking... Should I let momma hen do her thing or should I move the hatching egg? Also the other two chicks are running around the hatching egg and I'm worried about them hurting the new chick...😲
 
UPDATE: baby hatched just a few minutes ago. It looks very tired and isn't doing much moving, just laying under mommas wing and chirping some. Hoping baby will be ok..
