Peeling chicken out of the egg.

[Peters Pecker]

Hi everyone. This is my first post but I will resist asking what the correct planting space and depth for eggs ought to be.

We have hardy chickens of which breed I am not sure. There is a high affliction rate generally and Darwinian selection reigns supreme. This morning I found among some newly hatched dead chicks a live one stuck in the shell. The hen was walking on it and pecked at its eye so I removed it and peeled it out of its shell. It has survived for two days but cannot seem to walk. Should I kill it?

I think you need to look at the Emergencies/Diseases/ Injuries and Cures section. There is a forum about page 9 from the other day. Kinda the same thing.

I'm sorry about your baby chick.
