Great job stepping in and saving the rest of the chicks! I cannot believe what a horrible peck that mama hen inflicted on that chick! My goodness!Thanks to everyone who left helpful comments. Just a quick update on the outcome. 5 out of 6 have hatched (3 in quick makeshift bottle incubators)...although over 4 days. 2 needed assistance after 36 hours having peeped but failed to unzip, one peeped at pointy end and one in the middle of the egg. All doing fine nowView attachment 2217202

I see your little makeshift incubator back there, so clever!
