Thanks again for your help. Woke up to 5 hatched total this morning and another in the later stages. The other two have started but looks still a while left.
It has now put a decent size hole in the membrane and is still just sitting chilling. Membrane does look a bit dry, what would any recommend at this stage just leave be?
Update.
It appears the chick has a small hole in the main membrane now.
Isn't sticking beak right out of hole by any means but assume this is a positive sign and just a waiting game?
Nothing has changed.
Still cheeping away and trying to get out.
To be honest I have no idea at which point I should be looking to help it.
Any advice appreciated.
Hasn't got through the membrane or air sack but opened further up which is strange. Yes it is still trying to get through.
I can't distinguish a yolk, something green looking in three so maybe that?
Appreciate all of your help.
Thanks for the advice.
I have taken back the shell and all membrane still in place. I have oiled and ensured still wet
The initial hole in the membrane is where the red circle is however the chick is pecking the membrane further down where the white circle is- i am not sure how it created the...
The chick beak it not at that part of membrane it is further down i can see it trying to peck through but it hasn't at this stage - do I just leave to break its own way through?
