Hatching BCM concern!

[Jhura]

I have a BCM that pimped yesterday at about 5 PM. It’s almost 24 hours later. She managed to get through a lot of the shell, and maybe the babies bouncing around her helped too, but she still hasn’t come through the membrane? It looks moist, she is breathing, but I do see a lot of veins so I don’t want to interrupt her yolk absorption process. Any advice? Should I help? I posted a picture. Thank you!

Sorry no one has replied yet. How's it doing right now?

That can be a tough call to make. I wish I could give you a correct answer. I've save some and lost some. How many of the hatch are out of the shells now?

I decided to wait because she was able to breathe but still had a lot of things. I took a deep dive into your assisted hatch article archives. It is a wealth of valuable information!

A few hours later, she finally broke through and hatched! We were so relieved. Thank you!

Glad she made it out alright!
