Is it ethical to hatch an egg from the outside, as in cracking it, rather than letting it hatch out on its own

Answer 1

Well, you use the term, "hatch." So, "ethics" isn't really what comes into play here. I actually experienced something like this once. A friend of mine who had an aviary, loaned me an incubator and some pheasant eggs so that the children I took care of could watch the chicks hatch.

When hatching time arrived, one chick was having a difficult time getting out of the egg, so I did what any dumb, city gal would do... I tried to help the chick out. It made things worse. The chick wound up drowning in it's own fluids.

My friend later told me that you should never "help" hatch a chick from the egg. Sometimes it takes an hour to chip itself out, but the chick needs the time to develop the strength to hold its own.

So, if your goal is to "hatch" the egg, it's wisest to just let nature take its course and just let the chick hatch itself.
