Emergency, I think

[Hansen4211]

I need an answer fast. I had my first ever chick come out of its shell tonight full force. He is all over the incubator. Knocking all of the other eggs everywhere. Is this normal?

I had to take him out. Not sure if thats what I was supposed to do or not, but he was knocking the other eggs around bad. Hope he makes it. Just looks like he is pecking the saw dust now. This is so nerve racking to me. Im sure the second time will go easier

Sounds like you have a healthy chick. Congratulations!

Yes it's normal for them to run around like creatures possessed and play football with the other eggs. It actually helps encourage the others to make their way out.
