    Challenge: Hatching The Impossible!!!!!

    Just found this thread!! I really hope #1 makes it! I got a tiny egg from my golden laced brabanter today. Now I’m inspired! 😂I’m going to try incubating it.

    I don’t think there is much you can do at this point. Just hope the chick is able to absorb the remaining yolk.

    If the chick starts to not move as often or as powerfully, then poke a hole in the membrane. What breeds are you hatching btw?!

    Oh I know it is soo nerve racking and exciting!! But you got this!! There’s nothing harmful about moistening the membrane. Do it if it’ll make you feel better

    That’s normal, it’s just drying out a bit. You just don’t want it to dry to the point of shrink wrapping the chick. 😬 how is it doing? Still moving around some?

    Does the membrane seem to be drying out? Does it look like it’s peeling away from the inside of the shell?

    Once you open the membrane it should give you a clear visual of all the veins. After awhile you should start seeing the veins clear up. If the chick gains enough strength to finish up hatching on its own then great. However, if it makes no progress I recommend chipping away a large enough hole...
