You can if you want. But, you should know the risks.

I don't like to help chicks hatch. However, I still do help chicks out of their shell if they just can't make it, but I still don't like it. I believe that you have to trust in Mother Nature to know what she is doing, and I don't like to second guess her.

Having said that - I DO help chicks hatch. Most of the time, I am successful and the chick is fine. Sometimes as the chick grows, I see weaknesses that are like Mother Nature saying, "See, I told you!" But sometimes a healthy normal chick just has a little problem and can benefit from a helping hand.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, the chick will die. But sometimes they will live and grow healthy and beautiful.

In fact, I helped a chick out of it's shell before and they very chick turned out to be a beautiful rooster with strong lungs. He has won the crowing contest at my fair two years in a row, and he will surely be entered in the contest next year.
