A good healthy chick should be on its feet within an hour of hatch. Some chicks who have had to struggle may take a few hours to stand up and take those first wobbly steps. All chicks should remain in the incubator for at least 24 hours after hatch. Chicks should be dry and fluffy before moving to the brooder box and subject to any drop in temperature. Chicks having trouble standing will be subject to abuse by its hatchmates and are sometimes killed before they are able to stand.

How long does it take for a chick to pip?
We just had a chick that hatched tonight, it started peeping as it was still hatching. Added: It depends on the chick. This morning I had a chick pip a small amount and now it is 4:00 in the evening. It is barely really starting to pip the egg. Another chick that was hatching this morning just came out of the shell about an hour ago. I was worried the little one didn't make it or something. But everything seems just fine.
