It may be possible to help a chicken that stops progressing during hatching by carefully assisting it out of the egg. However, this should only be done as a last resort and with caution, as the chick may not be fully developed or may have other health issues that prevent it from hatching naturally. It is important to seek guidance from a knowledgeable source, such as a veterinarian or experienced poultry breeder, before attempting to assist the chick.
UV blocking can reduce hatching success in some species, as UV light is important for embryo development in certain organisms. Blocking UV may disrupt biological processes necessary for successful hatching, such as proper DNA repair or cell division. This effect can vary depending on the species and their specific requirements for UV exposure during development.

Imprinting is most likely to occur during a specific critical period shortly after birth or hatching, when a young animal forms a strong bond with its caregiver. This process helps the animal recognize and attach to the caregiver for survival and social development.
