I hatched some eggs, and only 1 chick actually developed and hatched. This chick hatched yesterday at 8:00pm.
It stayed in the incubator the whole night and I took it out this morning. The chick has tried to eat and drink a little bit when I took it out from the heat plate but other than that, it isn’t super active. Mostly just sleeping under the plate. Should I be worried? Or is it just still resting from hatch? It’s been almost 24 hours since it hatched. It can stand and walk and preen but it seems as though it won’t do anything unless I decide to take it out from under the plate and place food in front of it. It will often fall asleep while eating.

I am going to get other chick friends soon but I can’t right this moment.
I am playing chick sounds in the background until then.
