Thanks Knjinnm - I opened up a bit where their beaks were at and made sure they were turned up where they don't suffocate and left them in the shell and they were able to bust their way out when they were ready. Right now I have 12 beautiful little babies running around and three zipping. That leaves 13 eggs that are sitting there not looking like they are doing anything! BUT, since I have learned from you all to SIT ON MY HANDS - I am going to do just that and quit fussing!Even the little guy that was so pitiful looking last night and crying so much is up running around normally this morning! He just needed to get his bearings - just like you all said! Geez and I want to set another bator full of eggs next weekend......am I sure I can do this expectant parent thing again?!!!!
