  1. The chicks are fine they both survived and i would have intervened two with a double yolker hatching to make sure they were both ok. also she firstly only made sure they could both breath, then went back to them as she could still see a few veins so respect to her, i wouldn’t recommend helping any hatch but saying that i have still helped a few out in my time 🙂 all based on peoples own personal opinion but they both came out happy and healthy and that’s all that matters x

  3. Really, no need for human intervention at all…!
    This is setting a really bad example to people i.e: AllyKat514 who is a student of yours who thinks this is COOL.

  4. when they first break through and can get air… it is best not to do anything for 24 hours before helping them any… not only do they need to absorb all the yolk but their lungs need to acclimate to the air and learn to absorb/process oxygen.. first time I helped one out to early it came out nicely and was very strong and moving around… then died in like 3 mins gasping for air because his lung were not developed enough… let them lungs get some practice before helping.

  5. You ‘helping’ them out of the shell is what killed them. They need to absorb all the yolk before thye come out. This happens during pipping.

  6. @needmorechickens I lost both unfortunately. They never pipped, and when I checked they got to about 18 days. Their yolks were not absorbed when they stopped, everything else looked good.  Thank you though

  7. @HTCSWEOD They did turn out normal, I eventually sold them and they were one hen and one rooster. It was really exciting!

  8. She looks like she knows what she’s doing- plus, she likely saved these two little ones, so, kudos to her. 🙂
