chicken stalker
TOS Rocks!
...so I interviened. Actually I wasn't planning on helping, wanted to go the way nature intended. So since yesterday this egg has been cherping. Yesterday evening the humidity went up significantly so I assumed it pipped and I just couldn't see it. So I waited, expected to have a chick this morning. Nothing this morning no visible pip or zip and no more cherping...hmmm. So when I got home today (4ish) I figured I would have a chick. Nope nothing!! Then my DH says he OPENED THE BATOR!!!!!
I glared at him
Then he showed me the egg. It had a large hole in it, about the size of a nickel. Parts of the membrane were intacked but it was like leather. I could see the chicks head and foot...so I waited a few more hours....then I decided to help. I gently peeled the shell away from the membrane and mositen the membrane. After I went all the way around the chick broke the shell in half but it was stuck to it. Parts of the chick were already dry! I carefully peeled most of the shell away....as I was doing this it poo'd. Yes I am positive it was poo and not yoke...straight from the chick butt
I didn't want to peel off the membrane because it was really "superglued" to its fluff.
So here it is...hope it survives. It's been cherping for about an hour and it getting up on its feet
