Chirping
She pipped last night, by this morning she had zipped but was really struggling and could barely get completely through the outer film. I didn't see a beak and humidity was at 75% so I used a q-tip and some coconut oil on the zip and let her be. She was still struggling as I noticed she was not positioned correctly so I sterilized some tweezers and went with a full on careful assist. She was chirping the whole time as if to say 'help me mama...'. She got out without too much help on my part. She is now drying out in the bator but given all the oil that may not work. For about the last 2 hours she has been chirping and dragging around her lower half shell with her umbilical cord. Hoping it eventually comes off. The cord looks really thick - any thoughts or advice?
