I had to go to the grocery store, to get away, when I got back it pipped a bit more. There is some red bloody, but not dripping or anything like that. I guess that it is just relaxing now I can see allot of the chick, it keeps trying to stretch. It is now half way out. If I were that chick I would stay in its shell until 2:00 am my children and grand child are fired up, and I am exhausted. My grand daughter is almost 16 months old.
I understand how you feel, my first duckling rolled the others eggs around and one that had pipped ended up face down and it didn't make it. I wasn't sure if I should roll it back over either and next time I probably will. I had no idea the first to hatch could be so violent!
