My husband is worried our chicks are going to suffocate. We have 2 blue laced red wyandottes that were due to hatch yesterday (they are 22 days now). One started peeping a couple hours ago. Is it normal for some time to pass till they break thru the shell? It's obviously still breathing cause it keeps peeping from time to time.
Also, the air cell in the other one is really weird looking but I did see the egg move earlier today. It's at the fat end of the egg, nd also along one side with some sharp angles. I'd take a picture but don't wnt to disturb the egg. I have a turkey egg incubating that has a similar weird air cell but the poult is nice & active.
