Another Pip Wrong End?

[Sally Sunshine]

Quote: your doing great! it just needs resting! the stage between pip and actual zipping hatching is long, thats alot of shhhhtuff to absorb! no rush!
this is my favorite part to read!

BREATHE!
That’s right, take a deep breath, calm your nerves and RELAX!
There is no rush to get a chick out of the shell!


"The developing embryo has lived in this shell for well over 3 weeks.
It has survived off of the contents of the egg for that entire time. The only thing it has absorbed from the outside is Oxygen. As long as the chick is getting Oxygen, there is nothing urgent. Too many people feel the need to rush in and pull a chick out of a place that has served it well for 3-4 weeks. There should be no rush to get a chick out of the shell if it can breathe. As long as it has access to air through the pip, it can sit there all day, even after the blood vessels recede. It's not going to starve. It has plenty of yolk. It's not going to dehydrate, unless you get impatient and begin removing shell before it's time to do so causing bleeding or too much exposure to outside air." http://www.avianresources.com/Nursery_Mgt.htm​

Thank you so much for the reminder. Some have asked why I waited to long to help and I felt badly then they did. I just do not want to intervein if it is not really needed and don't want to go too fast. I don't want to make the poor things situation any worse.

After 3 hours I checked on him, dampened the membrane (The outer and inner seem fused together, the outer is milky when damp, and I can't see veins. Not touching the membrane at all at this point. I removed more of the shell though without issue, though not too much. We shall see.

Thank you for your patience with me and for the hand holding while we wait to see what happens!

In my last hatch I had a chick pip at the wrong end as well. I was really worried, but it hatched normally without assistance. It was a shipped egg, so maybe the air sac was wonky (I did have one with the air sac on the side, but forgot to mark which egg it was!)

I am gladdened to hear your chick made it just fine. I don't think this one would without help given it has not made any progress on it's own in over 30 hours since it pipped though. This egg is just an odd one I guess. We had gotten them all warm from a farm so no shipping worries with him. Just odd. Still alive though so there is hope!

Hoping for the best for your chick! My chick hatched normally as if it had pipped the right end, which was quite odd. It zipped and hatched so fast that it took less than 20 minutes.. Silly thing!

I didn't think off this. Being the odd end of the egg, it makes sense. Well, I think the only thing we can do then is wait... And keep it damp! That egg fluid dries off quick and it's so sticky when it dries. Shame, with my last assist I had a chick's head stick to the membrane, because it was in such an awkward position, I couldn't wet it properly. Was there drama when that membrane came off? LOL That chick was not impressed. But it forgave me. Eventually.

Can you still hear it and see it move its beak or breath?

Oh yes, it is very much peeping at me!
