Talk about a whirlwind of emotions! Out little guy started out around 830 yesterday morning. He got about halfway around his shell when he seemed to just stop . I researched, I read, I paced. 12 hours later I'm still pacing. Why is this taking so long?What if he doesn't make it? Is that membrane looking dry? Is he chirping enough? Geez, it was enough to make me crazy.
I went to bed last night and read about assisting hatching . I reread and reread . No way did I want to mess with this guy . What if I messed it up and I'm just some
Newbie that doesn't know anything. So I waited . 2 am. No progress. But still I waited . 8 am. Forget it he's slowing down and has not moved at all. So I slowly picked at his shell and rolled membrane back. One good stretch and he was in my hand chirping away. His head was in the bottom of the shell (nowhere near where it was supposed to cracking. What's up with that. Anyway .. I know it's a long story but I just wanted to share that I have a healthy baby now just chirping away and walking all
Over . It doesn't appear that the other eggs are going to make it. They all had movement at lockdown but no pipping and no noise coming from them;(
