    early hatch due to badly cracked egg

    I believe it is the chick in the cup that saved his little one...since this picture was taken, 5 hours ago, the chick has absorbed most of his sac is fluffing up in the incubator, has had a sip of water, and I think is doing ok. he does not walk, so I lift him over to the waterer for a drink...
