That might be the answer right there. If the chick was wiggling and struggling, pushing outward on the shell, that could have caused little bubbles to form inside all around the crack. Sort of created a vacuum, and caused air to be pulled in through the crack. Can't think of any other reason. Chick seems healthy, right? And the fluid was clear, so not an infection. Mechanical action caused it.

well, thats what I said but not in those words. hahahhaahaaa

Morning.  I'm still trying to wake up.  Granny, any more hatches?  Too bad about the mean rooster.  Maybe its a reaction to the stress of the move and he will calm down. Go get a bucket of KFC and eat it in front of him while him some knowing looks. 



Star, lots of small are supposed to be good.  Releases the tension along the fault so bigger ones are less likely.  Doesn't matter how much tension is released, earthquakes always make me tense!



Camping, tried to find what the bubbles could have been, but no luck.  I'm surprised the chick survived with all that. 




Me too. I was so careful washing it. Wanted to make sure I didn't pull it's guts out on accident. :/ All other pips are above AC, so maybe better luck than the sapphire.




Bacteria can create little bubbles like that, but seems it would take an awful lot to make all that foam.  Size of bubbles look like they are from breathing, but that doesn't seem possible either.  How do the chick lungs develop? They must be fluid filled at some point.  If you enlarged the pip, you probably saved it.  Maybe it had a bad case of the farts. 



It was half zipped and glued in. [COLOR=FF8C00]Shell was cracked all the way around[/COLOR], though. I pulled the cap off, went to breakfast, and went home. It was still stuck. So I crumbled the shell and washed the membrane off.

It looked like little clear bubbles in the pic. Was it yellow? Whipped egg whites maybe, but not yolk. That would have been something else. I read about a burst yolk sac or something that caused yellow foam, but the chicks usually die without quick intervention.
