    What is this and is it serious?

    This chick hatched yesterday, the white wast matter and a growth looking thing are still attached to it. I'm a little worried cause this guy hatched 2days late and I've heard that the yoke sometimes doesn't get absorbed all the way when that happens and the chick can die up to 2 weeks after that...

    Have you seen roosters fight to the death?

    They can fight to the death. It usually happens when you have a more than 2 roosters, but some breeds of roosters were bred for fighting, for example Old English Game roosters.

    How long can you leave chicks in an incubator?

    I have a small force air incubator. How long can I leave a chick(s) in the incubator?

I have one hatched and another unzipping, in total there are 3...

    A chick just hatched

    Okay. What about his frantic peeping? And the blood vessel thing? Is that what's like an umbilical cord? Also, the other chicks will be fine with the high humidity? Sorry for all the questions.

    Kinda, it was attached to his behind, about where his vent would be. At least as far as I could tell.
