Hey all! The chick in question is fine, still moving and peeping, so I'm not worried, but I just had something odd happen!
The chick pictured below pipped sometime yesterday (day 20), and as you can see, it looks like it hit a vein and the blood stained the membrane, just like you would see with an attempt at assisting.
Has anyone else had this happen? Would anything in particular cause a chick to pip when there's still veins left running through the air sac portion? Or, do you think something else happened that caused the blood?
Chick is still peeping and cracking and I believe it will hatch soon, so there's no panic--more of a curiosity post.
