This reminded me of something:

I've mentioned I came from a family of 9 kids, a decision my parents consciously made to have a large family. My mom regularly would have people ask her "You know what causes that, right?" during her pregnancies. My mother is a very proper, religious woman. Finally she started responding, "Oh yes, we know, but it is just so much fun we just can't stop". People stopped asking her.

Our first Silkie egg! From my wife's whites!
It's TINY!

I NEED HELP ! a late pipper is still alive. Pipped yesterday evening and punched a little bigger hole this morning. How do I help it?

You sure you want to? I'm kind of against helping late chicks since I've now had to cull 2 today.

You can start by taking tweezers and chipping away a little along what would be the zip line. If you see any blood, put it back in the incubator and wait. Do a little more every so often, letting the egg warm back up in the incubator in-between.

Good luck.

If it was late yesterday evening, I'd give it at least 24 hours

Thanks! I know there's not a high probability of success ...:/

Okay, how do you guys do the deed? I had to put down one at school last night. What's the most humane way?
