Will chick live???

[Chickensandchicks]

Yesterday my broody hen killed new chick partially in shell not sure if accidentally or what but none of her first batch lived either so made tough decision and heated incubator and took eggs last night.....one woke me up loud chirpy around 230 am its hatched out of shell but does not seem right. Just lying and lots of chirping...too weak to stand or sit. Plus wondering if yolk sac not completely absorbed and looks abit sore on bottom.

So happy to say chick is doing better and 1 silkie has hatched to join it.

Great! Yes, sometimes hatching is hard on them, and they aren't up and moving immediately.
