Should a setting hen be isolated from the rest of the flock?
Yes. A setting hen should be isolated from the rest of the flock for the safety of the eggs, resulting chicks, and the brood hen, herself. Chicks have been successfully hatched without taking this precaution, but many who've done it have had problems resulting in dead or injured birds and low hatch rates. Results like these make it not worth the risk.

Should you crack an unpeeped chicken egg to help it hatch?
No Inside the shell are two membranes,the inner membrane directs blood flow to the chick and the outer membrane retains moisture. The chicks pipping from the inside with the egg tooth is done slowly and controls the ceasing of that blood flow. Done Too quickly and the chick will die. Unless the chick has already made the first tiny hole to the outside there is no way you can tell where the chicks head is located, opening the shell at its tail will have no good results ,only bad. Cracking the shell will result in the death of an otherwise possibly viable chick.
How do i tell a hen from a rooster as soon as they hatch?
You don't. There are very few people well trained enough to do this accurately and safely. The process involves squeezing the vent of the chick just at the right pressure to invert the tiny cloaca. Too much pressure and permanent damage is done and the chick does not survive. After years of breeding hundreds of chicks I will not do this and most certainly a novice breeder would be ill advised to make the attempt. A better way to find out the gender of the bird is to wait a few weeks and watch for larger, brighter combs and wattles forming. Males will also show more precociousness than their sisters. A startled cockerel will chirp a warning and ofter stand his ground while the females will crouch silently or run to a corner sooner than the males.

How do chicks survive mailing?
Live shipping of day old chicks is done all the time. For up to 72 hours after they hatch the chicks are still ingesting their yolk sacs. This provides them all the nourishment they need. Chicks do not require food or even water for this period in their lives and survive quite well. Heat is the usual problem. Most hatcheries will only ship in batches as the more chicks shipped the greater the body heat provided.

Leave them alone and let the mother do her job. Your hen will continue to lay on the eggs a few days after the first ones hatch. The chicks will tuck themselves up under her to stay warm and the hen will keep them and the eggs warm while waiting. Good luck!

Penguins do not build homes; penguins do not live on the Antarctic continent.

Once the chicks are hatched and have fledged, all the animals leave Antarctica.
