Emergency!! Positioned wrong/Assisted hatching! Please help!

[PekinDiaries]

There are no paper towels in the bator anymore. There are little vents though, should I be opening one for the baby?

I am not doing ANYTHING without consulting you first! Lol!
I didnt know that you were supposed to position them that way.. They have been lying flat this whole time. Which is why they rolled so easily..

It's OK for them to roll, not so much worried about that.

as long as that humidity doesn't go down to low but

I would probably at least keep one opened.

I'm home for the next 2.5 days. I'll keep a close eye on the humidity. No lower than 60?
All four of the babies are responding to Genghis! I was afraid that we had a dead-in-shell!!!

Okay, checking back on the other baby, hes pushed a nice sized flap of membrane apart. He's rocking/chirping. I can clearly see his beak opening and closing. Just thought I would keep you updated.

Man, I feel so bad for birdies...their very first act in life is to bust out of a cramped, calcified prison ;;

He's chipped more of his shell away. He's actually making more progress than his brother did! Hopefully he can do this one on his own.
I agree, Amykins. Poor things. The first thing he did when he got free was a BIIIIIIIGGGGG stretch.
