Our first baby hatched today. I had to assist because it was going on 48 hours with very little progress. He only lived about a hour. My step daughter said it is because I held him when I gave him water because supposedly the lady at the feed store told my husband if you handle baby chicks they will die. Someone else told me that is not true. So what are the basics and how can I keep the mortality rate down when the others hatch?
