There are a few in the incubator, but I don’t know if they are going to hatch.
the story is, I had a hen go broody and I let her set, a second hen joined her... a week ago the first hatched on the 2nd. The one hen decided to peck the baby so I removed it into a brooder in house, and booted her from the nest.... second baby hatched later that night, and I brought it in. Fast forward to four(?) days ago and the remaining brody crushed the next two that were going to hatch in their shells. So we decided enough is enough and got an incubator and put the remaining 5 eggs in it. One has had a crack in it, I am going to guess from her because it’s been there since before we put them in.
I candled just a couple days ago to see if any were viable and I saw moving in each except one maybe, and it happens to be the last egg laid. ( my two non broody hens kept laying each day, in to this nest before I got them blocked)
So there are two chicks about a week older than this one, and fingers crossed that rest hatch. Pic of older two.
Lol sorry for the long story...

That pipped one hatched but it didn’t quite seal up at the yolk sack site. So I am trying something that was said to do here on byc after a search. Into a coffee mug with on a damp paper towel... Hopefully it will be ok...
