The latin name for the domestic fowl is gallus gallus domesticus
its time to move the mother and the chicks to the outside run. So 7 have hatched. And when we looked ,the last one was half in and half out of its shell.
What to do ? Put it on the grass and hope the mother would keep it warm whilst it escaped from the rest of its shell and then look after it or help it a bit. So we decided to help it a bit.
In a plastic bowl floating on hot water ( to keep it warm) , gently removing the rest of the shell and then keeping it warm whilst it dried out.
And then successfully resuscitated it was returned under the hen and , at the last look, was starting to explore its new home .
