    worried about our hatchling...

    One of our chicks knocked off a large piece of shell while it was zipping (not huge, but larger than normal). You could see it trying to break the membrane, but it couldn't get through. Now the membrane has dried out. How long should I wait before I help the chick out? It pipped this...

    Anyone else TV-free?

    We have a tv and we do watch it. But we only watch dvds that we rent or own. We don't have cable or satellite. Other than that, we don't watch tv.

    Question about our hatching eggs

    We have four that are hatching. One has successfully hatched. The other three have pipped through the shell. They pipped through the shell at some point during the night. Not sure when. They are not showing much movement, and I need to figure out if I need to help them. How long do I...
