You can hear your chicks churpping in the egg for 12 hours and they still have not cracked the egg?

I have had chicks, espically larger breeds, peep while still encased in the shell for up to 3 days prior to hatching. Goslings sometimes up to 5 or 6 days. Have they pipped yet (created a tiny "starting" hole)? Once they've pipped, they should be out of the shell within 12 hours no problem :) Good luck!

How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
If you find a bird egg that is really cracked but warm would the bird inside still be alive?
If the embryo has started it likely would not survive a cracked shell. A crack in the shell would allow bacteria to enter the shell and infect the growing chick. If the shell is cracked within a day or so of hatch it is possible for the chick to survive to hatch but still is unlikely.
Stuff to know about getting a hen to adopt chicks?
A hen will likely not adopt chicks unless she has chicks of the same age already. Hens will protect her nest from even the smallest chicks introduced so it is not a good idea to try to force a hen to "mother" newly hatched chicks. Keep the young chicks in the brooder box until they are older and can defend themselves. It is not the rooster they need to worry about, he will ignore them, the most damage will come from older hens establishing the pecking order of the flock. Chicks and mother can be introduced back into the flock by about 2 to 3 months. There will still be some squabbling, but the chicks are old enough and fast enough to escape the worst of the punishment. Momma hen will help them. There is not much worry from the rooster.
When do you put young chicks in chicken pen?
So it is time to take your baby chicks that you have been brooding for about 5 weeks to the chicken pen. First make sure the chicks are all feathered out, make sure that the temperature does not fall below 70 degrees and if it does make sure you still have heat lamps set up. The cold temperatures at night can be the biggest problem as the chicks will naturally huddle for warmth the ones on the bottom of the pile will suffocate.
A baby hen is called?
When still babies, they are all chicks. Older than a chick, less than a year, they would be a pullet.
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.

Your truck does not overheat but can I still have a cracked block?
Yes you can. A cracked block does not necessarily mean the car will overheat. If a block is cracked at a coolant jacket then coolant will leak out and the car will overheat if the leak is bad enough. If the leak is not very major or if the crack is at a point that does not have a coolant jacket then it will not overheat. A cracked block could leak oil, compressed air/fuel, coolant, or nothing at all and still be cracked. -R. Mesyef
When is it safe to feed a chick?
Food should be available to the chicks as soon as they are in the brooding pen after drying off from hatching. They usually don't eat for the first 24 hours or so but food and water should still be available to them.

Why do chicks need warmth?
In nature a chicken will sit on a nest of egs keeping them warm. This helps the emryo develop in to the chick. when hatched the chicks natural body heat mechonism is still developing and therefore they need warmth. In the wild a chicken will still hudle the chicks together and keep them warm until they are able to create their own body heat
