Hi! I actually just had my eggs hatch yesterday and I posted something very similar. He pipped at 2 pm. At 12 hours he had made very minimal progress and I made my post asking if I should help. His beak was showing but it seemed like he just couldn’t turn and all his efforts to turn or make...
Hey MGG, I just want to sincerely thank you and everyone else who replied to me at 4 am when I was completely anxious and not knowing what to do. My chick hatched on his own followed by 3 more. Thanks again so much and I am so happy to have found this community!
Yes, he is doing that. I’m letting Jesus take the wheel on this one. I’m in no way prepared to become a chicken surgeon. Should I moisten the membrane? Because of his position in the bator i could probably do that with a q tip attached to a chop stick.
Thanks. It’s hard seeing the little flap of membrane start to dry out on him. He peeps a lot and it’s tough to hear that too! How will I know if the membrane is too dry? It’s at 75% now. It does look a bit yellow now and when he tries to poke through he can’t seem to get it done.
