It is probably soaking up the rest of the yolk and blood. If you makes noises (tap on the shell or bator side, peep), does it peep or move?

I probably made a mistake but I pipped the shell for it because I really didn't want it to suffocate, it hadnt pipped before then so I was worried. I can see it moving and breathing in there. It is trying to break some pieces off so that must be a good sign right? I also cant go to the store currently We are slim on gasoline so I am just hoping for the best.

It sounds good. Before hatching, there is often a rest period where the chick finishes up the rest of the yolk and blood. The time varies; it's normal and the chick is usually quiet during that time. Let us know how it goes!

I live in north Texas so rigt now the highs are in the upper 60s to lower 70s during the day and in the 50s at night. My chicks have featbered out all except their hinnys and tbeir heads. Do you think it is safe to put tbem outside now? I can put a heat lamp out there for them.

Yeah, I think they'd be ok. How old? Have they been acclimated already?
