Who hatches the eggs of the hoouse finch the male or the female?
The chicks hatch (=gets out of the egg) themselves with a tip of their beaks, "the egg tooth". It will later disappear. They will come out when they have grown too much to be inside the egg. Mother nature will take care of this event, and it's very rare that the parents help the chicks. They know the chicks have to get out themselves in order to live.If the chick does not get out of the egg, it's weak and too small, and would also loose the battle for food with it's siblings - that's why a chick like this guietly and gently sleeps away soon after it fails to hatch. The parent might also eat it after it's dead to gain protein and other useful nutrients.It's nature, and mother nature does not do anything that isn't supposed to happen. The chick just wasn't suitable for living.
Can you help chicks hatch?
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.

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.
What happens if you help a chicken hatch?
It is not a good idea for a novice breeder to help the chick out of the egg in most cases. At this time the chick is very fragile and helping the chick can cause too much damage. Under the shell are two membranes, the one directly under the shell is rubbery and does not carry a blood supply but the inner membrane does. As the chick works its way around the inside of the shell (pipping) it uses what is called an egg tooth to poke holes in the inner membrane sending a signal to stop the blood supply. This takes time and helping it is bad for the chick. When the chick has pipped (poked holes) all around in a circle it flexes its body to separate the shell. Sometimes the chick gets too weak to make the circle and has not enough energy to continue and that is when an experienced breeder/farmer can sometimes render assistance by loosening the tougher outer membrane but this does not always work.
