Nope, this is her 4th time going broody, Nick. She's an old pro!

Free ranging chickens here today!

Kathy, you're finally on Summer break for breeding! You go girl!!

Cyn, wow! And she just finished a brood. How dedicated!

The first chick that started zipping is peeping like crazy and sticking its beak out. I have people in and out of here watching! I have some people from the feed store coming over in an hour to watch the excitement! I took a video of it, and my friends and I are all gasping and screaming... We're nuts, LOL.

The main zipper is about to push the top off, and is about 3/4 of the way done zipping! That was very quick! I have the computer in the incubator room, now, listening to all of the cheeping!

 

[PepsNick]

It's almost done! I see everything but its head, and it is about to push the top of the shell up!

 

[Hillbilly Hen]

Congrats Nick!

 

[PepsNick]

Thanks Laura!

The chick's top part of its head is stuck to the shell! What can I do?

I had to. I'm sorry. The chick can't stand, is bleeding and covered in membrane. I grabbed it quickly. Blood coming out of the vent, its legs look hurt, the shell looks horrible. It is in a brooder. What should I do? Even if I ruined the whole hatch, I don't really care, as the chick had to get out of there.
