So, I bought some marans and Welsummer eggs online, and they went through a very rough shippment. Most of them didn’t make it, however one did. Its a maran. Today is day 21, and the chick internally pipped about 24 hours ago. I was very worried about it, so I opened the blunt end of the egg a little so I could see what was going on, and this baby has bad scissor beak. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight about this? I don’t know if I should intervene anymore or if I should let nature take its course. I’ve never dealt with scissor beak before, but I’ve read about it a little bit.
Also, the membrane appears to have bled when the chick punctured it, but It’s still moving around and chirping.
