i woke up this morning and my first chicken was hatched!!! the baby is chirping, but its on its back!!!! should i flip it? i dont want to do anything cause none of the other eggs are hatching yet! i went into lockdown yesterday... wasnt expecting them to come till tuesday!

I wouldn't just yet. Give it some time. It should flip over by itself. Good luck

Leave him be, they often look half dead right after they hatch - it's hard work being born! He should become more alert and active in a bit. Also, you don't want to open the incubator and drop your humidity at this crucial stage of the hatch - the others need that higher humidity. Congratulations!
