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.
Once the chick has started to "PIP" it will take from two hours up to 24 hours. It depends on the humidity in the incubator and the strength of the chick. some very determined chicks can break open the shell and emerge in a matter of hours.
It can take up to 24 hours for the chick to complete its escape. It is best not to help the chick break out of the shell as you can damage the chick trying to help. There is a supply of blood in the shell membrane that will weaken the chick if broken early. Increase the humidity in the incubator, lack of moisture is the main reason for die off in the shell during peeping. try for 75% humidity.
If your baby chick is breathing but limp, you should take it to the vet's office. They will be able to determine what happened and treat the chick.
From what I've read, usually about 8-10 weeks old. There are breeds of chicken which gain several pounds in that span of time and which would have health problems later in life if permitted to live.
no, they help take care of the egg, after it has hatched both mom and dad take care of the chick.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours with a large healthy chick working all out to emerge from the shell to a small weaker chick taking as long as 24 hours. Good steady humidity helps, birds still having trouble after this length of time should be monitored and helped if needed.
Three days!
It can take up to twenty one days for a chick to hatch out of the egg. In incubation, it may take up to 24 hours for a chick to hatch out of the egg.
21-25 days
3 years
Take the chick over, take the feed over and bring the chick back with you. then take the fox and bring it over. then take the chick back over.
A chick is a young bird! An elephant is a mammal. So unless 'magic' is involved, a chick will never grow into an adult elephant.
it took 6 years xxx
about a year for sure

All depends on how fat the chick your running into is
