Day 28, should I assist hatch?? Really worried

Thank you so much Amy, I guess I'm figuring if I try to assist at this point, he won't have a chance, if I just let leave him be he at least has a chance of surviving. I will definitely keep updating though! Thank you for all your support. Oh and homeschool moms rock

I homeschool my children as well haha.
That's how I see it. As awful as it sounds, any attempt to "help" at this point has the chance of taking away any hope he has if there is a problem or not. I just know, it takes so long even after they externally pip for nature to be ready to let them hatch, that the chances of doing more than providing a pip hole for an internally pipped chick/bird isn't going to help. (And that's something I wouldn't even do until they had been internally pipped for 24 hours.) It's frustrating to sit by and do nothing and take the chance on nature, but sometimes, that's all we have. I hope he does pull it off though and you see some positive advances soon.

LOL Love homeschooling. We do most of our school day in the afternoon/evening because we are not so motivated in the mornings. It's great to have that flexibility and to be able to work around life and work to his ability and strengths. It has it's moments, I won't lie....lol But I can't imagine having him in the public school system right now. Of course homeschooling in NY with all it's paperwork and restrictions/required material can be a pain, but I figure if we can homeschool here, we can homeschool anywhere if we ever decide to get out of this state...lol
 
I'm hoping to see some progress on the egg soon too!

I love homeschooling! My son is 13, and I love the flexibility! I'm not a morning person lol. My daughter is 2 and she does a little learning herself but mostly from following me around all day :D. I know, crazy age gap between them, haha. Thank you artificial insemination! I'm getting too old to wait for a husband to come around haha. Best decision I've ever made!

And as far as "chickens being like tattoos".... I'm covered in them, but I hereby solemnly swear not to tattoo my ducks! Lol:lol:

lol. I am the baby of the family. My brother is 10 years, almost to the day older than I. My sisters are 14 and 16 years older than I. I had the best of both worlds as a baby and pretty much an only child since they were pretty much grown and gone by the time I got up there. I'm actually closer in age to a couple of my nieces/nephews than my own sibs...lol My parents were older when they had me. I was 34 when my son was born. Didn't plan to be a single mom, but yeah, men these days...lol I got fixed just before turning 40. Turned 41 this year and sure as heck don't want to be raising anymore. (Not that that's an issue...ahhhh the single life...lmao)
 
Yes the single life....it is what it is....
R u incubating any eggs currently?

Nope I did the Easter hatch and have 30 in my brooder right now that I have to get coops up for..lol I just started my own flock the end of last summer begining of fall and my hens from the fall hatch just started laying about 2-3 week ago, so after the 4th of July I really want to try to incubate some of our own eggs for the first time. We should have a few nn's as one of my two coop roos are nn and he's the dominant roo. I'm hoping to start my own showgirl line with him and my silkie as I really want showgirls and have a heck of a time finding local eggs for them.
 
That's awesome! I love silkies!!!
Holy cow I think it's starting to internally pip. Yes, I just HAD to check :/ (I know, bad Inga, bad!!)
It's really tiny, but that still counts right?!? Lol
 
400


This isnt my egg, its one i found online but mine is looking similar to this. The beak isnt way i to the air sac but im seeing something like this. Thats still ok right? Maybe a start?
 
*Into* yes i can spell, and yes my phone and ipad love to correct me when i dont need correcting. Lmao!
