you should be able to get off the shell that is covering the air cell, without damaging the air cell.

in the pictures i posted you can see the membrane still over the babies.

 

but so far they look great. and can now breath.



Again THANK YOU so much! You ALL are AWESOME! bow.gif I am going to pick up my kiddo from school so I have no choice but to keep my hands off for a while!

Well I helped out a little more and one more hatched. The others are still moving and trying to advance on their own and the two that have hatched are trying to help them out some.

That being said, it looks like I have a Swedish/Penkin mix and a Penkin! I don't think this swede got his momma's crest though. He/she (hopefully she) is still cute as can be.

The third one hatched with the help of baby number two! He looks like he may have curly toes sad.png but I will deal with that tomorrow. This has been a long day and I am heading to bed for a few in hopes that the last two hatch soon. Thank you all again!

give him until tomarrow maybe they will straighten out. if not there is a way to make a shoe/splint with a bandaide. maybe qj knows how.

we are here if you need anything.

you and the babies are doing great.

if they arent out in the am maybe pick away a tiny bit more of the shell.

JulieNKC just dealt with curly toes.  We'll get her over here if he doesn't straighten up by morning.
