4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sally Sunshine]

So we were looking into the bator, the one shell that is in there has something jelly like in the bottom.
The chick is out and no blood or anything around it.
Is this normal? If this is the yolk, it was not all absorbed. but it looks like skin, is it just the inner egg membrane?
Remember this is our first hatch, and we are learning, so sorry for the awkwardness of this question.

sometimes there are just a bit of leftover stringystuff.... did u snap a pic?? is the chicks navel ok??

I'm not sure if I voted in that one or the broody hen one, its been a long week, & I'm now drinking which I hardly ever do so 6 sips & I have no clue -- will it stop me voting if I already did?
I don't want to mess things up, but I don't want to skip voting. advice?

Update - zero activity in my bator, it isn't looking good ppl. & Ron, I am now having that something to relax -- Frangelica an entire shot, I will loose all ability to type soon...unless the chaser cup of coffee works...

Ok here is me panicing softly about my poss. entry into worst hatch rate, not the contest any of us want to enter...

I'm right there with you Fey. I've got some champagne & cranberry to ease my nerves but y'all are gonna have to excuse my spelling soon!
