does this egg look ok the membrane?

[AmyLynn2374]

I haven't hatched Plymouth rocks or RIRs but haven't heard anything about them being difficult. That's why I asked. But that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't.
I'm not one that does the wet paper towel wrap thing, but alot or people do it.

The last one that I had that was slow progressing, I also touched the wet q-tip on the shell, on the side of the hole which would start a counter-clockwise zip. I noticed the chick trying to eat the moister parts of the membrane, so I tried to "lead" it to the correct side. I dont know that it really helped, but it made me feel like I was pointing the way lol. Good luck!

lol. If it makes us feel better it's a go, right?

Did you have to help it, or did it make it on it's own?

Awwww.... very cute. So tell us, did it make it out on its own, or did you help? Curious minds want to know! And do you have any more pips yet?

well i pulled apart the brown dry membrane and it made it out the rest. I had one more pip externaly yesterday but blood came out and it died. It might be a lone chick but excited after 4 tries i finally got one to hatch i might be done for a while.

Congrats on your hatch Do you have any more eggs due to hatch? if not I suggest you try to get some chicks to go with this 1 as they get lonely

Xs 2. My first chick was an only and he was a lot of work....lol If you can find someone with little ones I would definitely grab a couple. Also a mirror and stuffed animal might keep him company for a while.

Congrats!
