Aww, so cute! Yup, she is a tufty blue baby. Great job helping her. Many tufted die in the shell on araucana between days 18-21. Great job rescuing that cutie!

OH NO!!!!

I moved the babies into the brooder - went back to the bator to turn it off and heard a noise :mad:

I picked up the larger EE egg, and decided to make a hole - I don't want to see a dead baby - but had to open it.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!

I have been in twice now pulling off shell and a tiny bit of membrane - the other egg looks like a dead baby - died a while ago.......

Hold off on opening that EE baby. Mine usually take 22-23 days to hatch. As long as it has the hole, it can breathe just fine. I'd give it some time to try on its own. Good luck.

Thanks Jody - she's half way open already.......... the shell was dry and brittle and the membrane almost seems like a double layer :eek:
Her beak is out and one eye (she's looking at me) she's all wrapped in wet paper towels to have a rest..... she peeped once but otherwise quiet......

I think perhaps my humidity was too low ? ? it was around 70% the entire last three days, I did manage to get it up a little higher at one point, but when I upped the humidity - the temp dropped. So I left it at 70%....
 
The last little baby is still in her half shell with wet paper towels around her, still breathing, moving peeping... she did break a piece of shell off herself, but so far is still folded up inside the shell.....
