Will a Crushed egg hatch? *STILL ALIVE!*HATCHING!

Hi, I just read the whole story today and wanted to say how funny the pic was that said the chick looked like you with a hangover and she was wrapped in mens' underwear. It was so cute considering how it is said alcohol is so dangerous for us women that way!

You don't read that it is kids undies until after you scroll down so I just wanted to say that the whole story had everything from massive drama, highs and lows and great photography and comedy as well!

The worst part of this whole story are those crazy 'neighbor dogs'. Leave it to the dreaded "Neighbor Dogs" EVERY TIME! And I will say I love dogs as a rule, I have devoted my life and career to dogs but I swear there are so many people out there who just should NOT own dogs! I have been able to train all three of mine to leave my chickens alone and all 3 have crazy prey drives. But if any of my chickens escape and go wandering, something in the neighborhood gets them. Nothing usually comes in my yard since my dogs are very territorial, usually nothing dares come in the yard.

I had to do that last year just once, I removed the top part of shell and unwrapped the chick but let the bottom half lay inside the shell to absorb nutients and used a mist bottle with warm water but inside bator over and over and wet sponges with very warm water..I have pictures of that chick, it was a late hatch the others were all out and on thier way..I had to help that chick inch by inch and had to be armed with the warm water spray and sponges ...have pictures of that chick, that chick will never be in the breeding pen because I do not want to carry on any weak traits..but she has a real nice home here..I also had to give that chick little sugar water after she hatched many times she was so dehydrated..it was 3 days past due..and the shell was so rock hard I could barley break it..I feel good I was able to help, but like I said not a trait I would want to pass on.she'll never be in the breeding pen but live out her life providing breakfast eggs husband claims bounce off the pan when he tries to crack them..just kidding .
