    Quote: yes, we still have 6 more eggs in the bator. today is the 22 1/2 day though and still no cracks or rocking. do you think they could still possibly hatch? i am praying that they will. the other chick was dead, so we removed him and added more water (humidity was too low). i will not open...

    I think the chick is stuck in egg. plz look!!!! need help!!!!!!!

    i took off the complete shell and so just the membrane was left and i saw about a nickel sized yolk. also, the chick was not breathing, before or after i started. do you think it might've just given up and died in the shell? right now i have it wrapped up in a wet wash cloth in the incubator...

    okay i started gently picking off some of the shell and wet down the membrane. through the membrande i could see blood vessels, but it wasn't leaking out, i think it was blood vessels that were already abosorbed. i dont know if i should continue on, or leave it alone now.

    i know he is so adorable. he is a little pecker though! lol. i was supposed to have blue splash so she probably just got the egg color mixed up. i have a supposed to be white hatching right now also. so well see.

    that would be so cool if he was a blue. ill post new pics of him when he is older to get some other ideas. i looked up vent sexing day old chicks and from that he looked like a roo. but is was hard to tell and i am not even 60% sure. we'll just have to wait and see.

    he just hatched yesterday at 11:30am so it will probably impossible to tell what sex he is. anyways below is his picture. also, what color silkie do you think he is? he is SUPPOSED to be white, but i don't think so.

    2nd chick has pipped. does this look normal? *pic* plz look!

    the chick is rocking noticably in the egg now. i think it might actually be its beak poking out. i hope.

    2nd chick has pipped. does this look normal? *pic* plz look!

    no it's not bubbling, and it is not continually oozing out or anything. it more like a light cream or white, not yellow like yolk. the humidity is at 69% so i dont think humidity is a problem. and it's definatey not blood. any other ideas? i am going to try to get the picture enlarged a bit.
