Great pics! Love the underwear pic. You could always change his name to "skid mark".

Maybe you could name the other little miracle "Chilly". Glad they're BOTH doing OK.

Wonderful News!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been 8 1/2 hours since you went to sleep. Please give us an update. Between this and "Harley the Goat" thread, my nerves are shot.

She stayed up till 5am so I bet she's still sleeping.

Great Job! If he seems stronger I'd stick him back under broody hen. If too weak he may get trampled. Let us know how he's doing.

Well it's almost 11:30 pm here on the east coast so hope to wake up with good news. All the best for tonight.

Anything new to report? I'd definitely help before the day is done, especially since the others are hatched. 50/50 chance. Look for yolk=not ready.

Ok, I'd wait until all the others hatch. Normally when a chick finally makes that final zip and kicks his way out, his yolk is totally absorbed. If it isn't, the mortality rate is high. In other words, the chick knows when his yolk is absorbed and makes that final push out into the world...

So all the other chicks hatched? If nothing happens within a few hours I'd help it out. If you could carefully see if the yolk is absorbed or not, that will tell if he's ready. I'd still put a damp warm paper towel over the hole. Let us know about movement, sound, etc.

I'd give it some time as the chick takes long rests while trying to hatch. A damp (not dripping!)paper towel with warm water to cover the hole...just laying over it. I'd check every 15 minutes.

Boy or Girl...it should be called "Lucky". Love Cupid or Venus too!!

Good job, just keep it moist so the membrane doesn't shrink wrap around him. Hope he's close to absorbing the yolk.

Oh I hope he'll be OK! What a challenge for you. Good luck little one.
