The little one piped in the pointed end of his egg totally missing the Aircell.View attachment 3109299

Could you elaborate a bit more for those of us still learning? I just see an air cell in the pic. What will you do for that one if anything?

I'm not the greatest person to learn from but okay

I am one of the people that help them out if they need it. He piped at the top (pointy end) of the egg. He had not made progress in quite a while so I made the hole a bit bigger so I could watch him since he was malpositioned. he was clicking his beak for about an hour after that so I let him be. I came back and still no progress but he was trying to shimmy around but couldn't and was peeping louder than before so I basically zipped for him carefully breaking off little bits of shell and left a few areas of the membrane to hold the shell so he could push it off easily when he was ready and in under 5 minutes he pushed the shell off and was out and moving about.

It was the first time I had to help a chick and thanks to some articles here on BYC I now have a happy little baby!
