    For B, that one is the youngest, he/she hatched a couple of days after everyone else as it was stuck in the egg. Dont know if that makes a difference in his comb/waddle development but i thought that may be why he has baby fuz on his neck still

    HELP!! Do i need to assist this egg? will it make it??

    the first picture i attached was with no help. after that another chick pecked at it and caused it to bleed and more shell to come off. then my dad used tweezers and punctured the membrane, which is the tiny dot of blood. other than that yes

    HELP!! Do i need to assist this egg? will it make it??

    that’s what i said! my dad tried to help it and tore a hole with tweezers but the hole began to bleed. we are leaving it alone now. i hope it is ok as the bleeding seems to have stopped. is there risk now from opening the incubator?
