One of the chicks we had to help out, died yesterday. We aren't really surprised, as we figure something was wrong with him to begin with. He had only pecked one hole, and was in the shell with his beak sticking out and chirping for 24hrs or so and never progressed. The 2nd one had just started breaking out, but was very late in hatching, so we went ahead and helped him as well. He is doing fine, but will be at the bottom of the pecking order for sure. Now hopefully we have a good number of hens in the bunch, since eggs are our main purpose.
