how long ago did it pip i helped mine after about 36 hours ? make sure hands are clean start breaking tiny bits of shell away like the do when they zip with a pair of tweezers ( try to leave the membrane alone) if u see any blood stop and leave it a hour or two..... once u have made the zip...
i had to zip and hatch one of my chicks only a few days ago he had dried out and his wing was stuck to his head so couldnt move he was very weak but is fine now i would help the one that is dried out as it prob is stuck now
lol maybe i hope not tho there is a few things that make me think its boy and girl the lighter one has a bigger comb and got its wing and tall feathers quicker then the darker one and has a lot more white on it
yeah i did think it was to early to tell they are 5 weeks old on tuesday will...
good job i would have help it as well if that happened to me .. as long as humidity is holding all should be fine .u got any pics ? would love to see some :)
