My grams is/was from Olive Hill.
Well, she lived outside of "town."

That looks like about the same size town that we are in.

How long can a chick last before it must externally pip? Basically, how long will the air in the aircell last before the chick runs out of air?

I've been listening to this chick peeping almost half the day, but it hasn't broken through the shell yet. I am just wondering when would it be necessary to step in.

Thanks. I think there was one time it dropped around day 6. The rest of the time it was about 35% She was tuck in her shell for a while though. I'll hope it resolves on it's own.

Trauma then.

Keep us posted!

Lol. Whatever. U been in my stash

When I was at Walmart, there was a person that smelled like he had been smoking some.

He was a bit confused too.

If it is the same breed and the others have hatched, get a sewing needle and carefully poke a hole in the top.

Sometimes they lose their egg tooth. You might have to get it out but be very careful if you do.

Read the assisted hatching thread again.

Thank you. Yes, I have used Sally Sunshine's guide in previous assists, but they always happened after the chick broke through the shell. I am just a bit concerned that the chick will run out of air before it can break through the shell.
