I'm hatching some chicks under my broody hen and I went to go check for hatchling when I found a chick I thought was hatching to not be moving. I brought in inside and removed some of the shell (it is still has membrane still on) I can't hear chirping and theres no movement. I'm pretty sure that it has died but I can't be sure so I've put it in the incubator and I keep checking it but nothings happening. I don't what to do. Can someone help me :(
 
Im no expert, but usually you can hear them piping or peeping when they are in the shell so if you hear no sound now that is not a good sign. I would try and pull more of the shell off, but i would think it is likely dead? :(
