So I have read several things from an hour to 2 days....... Can someone help with this info please? I have one chicken who hatched this am and the Hen is sitting on the other 2 that pips the shell but have not come out yet. If it takes 2 days I guess my real worry is the little chick that just hatched is not getting food and water during that time. The hen is still with her unhatched eggs and I guess I do not know what to do. Should I take the baby away till the other hatch, help the babies come out (which I do not think is a good idea unless some experienced person say so) or just let nature take it's course (I'm a softy so that's hard for me)
Any and all advise is welcome this is my first time hatching chicks and we had one a few days ago but that hen is taking care of them.
Thanks!
