One of the chicks pushed to get out while I helped,the others were so weak/tired they couldn't try anymore

I learned from the previous hatch not knowing when to help them get unstuck. Some were very bloody sometimes and the chicks were so weak. But after a few days they recovered and are doing very well now. They are 8 weeks old now. =)

When assisting a chick everyone says to use tweezers, but patients and a q-tip dipped in warm water has worked amazing for me. I have helped hatch 2 chicks on 2 different batches, they were both positioned wierd. That way you don't take the fluff off. Then you put them back into the incubator to dry. Don't give up, it sometimes just takes practice. The hatching 101 in the learning center has been my bible when hatching chicks.
