Ok so the chick came out and she was not really rocking at it more talking to it,should I still be worried?

He wasn’t moving so good here,but seems to have dried off more and gotten much more better at traveling.Just when he came out unfortunately I had turned all the lamps off so he went back to bed.Hioefully the flock mates will hatch overnight or sometime tomorrow.Should I try taking mom out and try feeding them watering them?

Usually the Broody will start feeding them. Make sure food and water are close to them

It is

It is

If they are not out and about eating and drinking by tomorrow, dip their beak into the water and tap at the feed to show them where it it. Mom will likely be taking care of them by then though

Another hatched will see how many hatch by tomorrow,or today.

Ok so the post above was for way earlier this morning.A hatched chick I’m assuming around five or four because I wake up at six o clock and it was a little wet.However it is all dry now.I say mom and chicks out to eat and drink.Newst chick touched it a few times but didn’t care all that much,oldest ate a bit,dipped beak in water and it hadn’t seemed interested,didn’t dipped the newest beak because well it’s still very clumsy and just sorta sits upright wobbling,I’m sure by tomorrow it will be active,hopefully more hatch.I was tempted to buy a few chicks at the store that way we would ATLEAST have some hens,but guess we’re gonna go buy some little girl Cochins from the lady yo the straight,that’s how we ended with the ones we have now.Also can y’all He mother be on probiotics and electrolytes while the chicks are too?
Also,the hen is continuing sitting in the other four eggs.Doesnt seem as interested as she was a day ago,or maybe she just quit turning the eggs period.Hoping all six hatch,might get lucky.
