What does the chicken egg tooth do?
The chicken egg tooth, also known as the egg tooth or "caruncle," is a small, temporary protrusion on the beak of a chick that helps it break through the eggshell during hatching. This hard structure allows the chick to penetrate the shell and start the process of emerging. After hatching, the egg tooth typically falls off within a few days and is no longer needed.
If a chicken stops progressing during the hatching process can it be helped?
It may be possible to help a chicken that stops progressing during hatching by carefully assisting it out of the egg.

It is important to seek guidance from a knowledgeable source, such as a veterinarian or experienced poultry breeder, before attempting to assist the chick.
Why did your chick start hatching and then die?
