No TSC anywhere near you?

I've found with assisting that it kinda depends on breed. My lavender orpingtons had a habit of missing pieces of shell while zipping, and I had several die before I realized they do it quite often. So for them, I waited until they got going, then just popped the cap off. No problem, many happy healthy babies.
Seramas also tire out easily and tend to quit without assistance much of the time. So they get help earlier than others. My bantam cochins are bad about slipped tendons, so I stopped helping them hatch.

I only did 2 quail hatches, I can't even remember if I helped any or not. I know I lost a couple after the hatch that failed to thrive. But being so small, I lean toward waiting as long as possible, but eventually helping.

Just my 2 pennies, for what that will get ya! lol

They do like hatching in pairs.

Video uploading now.
I just walked in the door so I haven't got a good look yet but I think the first pipper is gone and now I M worried about the second pipper who hasn't moved in the two minutes I've been here.

Those 2 are zipped far enough. If they don’t move in the next minute, pop the caps off yourself!
