We hatch chickens. So,etimes we have had to "help" a chick finish getting out of it's shell. It's never a sure thing that they will make it when we do. I only need one hand to count the number of birds that actually survived after our efforts to help them out. But the ones that do make it, are worth the effort. They are usually the most social and friendly too.

I've helped around 10 so far hatch. It's been hard doing this with a 3 year old who around because twice now she sneaked and lifted the lid during lock down and I've had shrink wrapped ducklings. They all made it though. This little duckling is definitely partially blind so it wouldn't have hatched I think without my help. It's so sweet and cuddly though and just wants comfort so I think I'll end up adoring it and doing crazy things to spoil it.
