    No pipping day 29

    Ah thanks! My last baby is struggling to fluff and although the yolk is totally absorbed now it has quite a bloody ambilical cord still protruding and attached to a gory bloody mess stuck to the dried shrivelled membrane. I have removed the water from the incubator to try and reduce humidity...

    So all babies have beaks protruding now, I am no longer assisting in any way other than to wet membrane every couple of hrs. 4 of 5 still have very prominent red veins…… as long as they are moving and chirping I will leave alone. At what stage will I know if they require any further assistance!?

    membrane white and stuck behind large blood veins
