New to hatching

[Jo Lilley]

Hi
Just trying out hatching chicks as , like many, we’ve been at home LOADS. looking forward to this learning curve and so wanted to get some advise as our first eggs started to hatch today
We’ve kept chickens of various types over the last 10 years, so hoping to increase our flock in a fun way... unless there all cockerels!!

Right - progress update
we’ve had 4 hatch out of the 6. The two eggs left have not done anything on day 21 so presume were not viable - was going to give till tomorrow and then remove , is that right ?
One chicks leg it all bent still and it can’t move about very easily- any suggestions on that?
Thank you for the warm welcome
