    Chick died while unzipping, pictures included

    Not sure if I am guilty for this chick’s death but I still feel terrible. When I was leaving this morning I saw one of the last eggs unzipping. Didn’t seem to be stuck or anything so I didn’t intervene. I have assisted a lot of chicks but only do so when necessary. Unfortunately I only came...
