Thanks again for the help. I will sit tight, and let him do his thing.

Yes! I'm hoping to be able to get a video through the viewing window. He peeped a couple of times

Aww how sweet to hear that lil peep. Have you been talking to him so he knows your voice..

 

[Socc04b]

Yes, I talk goofy to all my fur (and now feather) babies. He seems to respond a bit now when I talk

Sorry for all the questions. It helps keep me from interfering. Nemo appears to be shivering / shaking / vibrating in his shell. Is the normal? I can see his beak and one eye. It has been about 39 hours since pip

Sounds like he is moving around so I wouldn't be overly worried. Where are our experienced hatchers?? Oh @RavynFallen Main thing is if you interfere too soon he may not have his yolk sac completely absorb or some veins may not be receded yet so it's a tough decision to know when to intervene. The hole hasn't gotten any larger? another thing too if they are allowed to go through the whole hatching process by them selves they are much better off for it.

Is he working on the shell?

Is Nemo peeping? How does it sound? If it sounds weak or like he's struggling then he may need help... but if not, let him keep working... as long as he can breathe and isn't drying out he should be ok...
