Do i need to help this chick pip!!!???

[bigzio]

I've stepped in and helped a peep that was overdue saving life. The overdue is necessary before helping, however when help is needed because of a thick membrane that the peep can't escape....then a eye dropper with water to moisten the inside will do wonders.

Help with the shell should wait til you have enough moisture to keep the peep from sticking to the shell.

Hope this helps.
