woohoo!! i've got two little hatchlings and several in progress. one of the hatchlings is fussing like mad. my motherly instincts tell me to get it out and hold it....but i'm trying not to open the incubator until absolutely necessary.
one chick has its beak a little through the egg, but is covered in fine bubbles--like clear foam. the others don't have anything like it. is this normal? is something wrong with that one?
thanks!!
<update> it looks like this one has zipped (?) halfway around the egg, but then wasn't able to break the membrane--except in one spot. it hasn't moved in a while and a fear it has died.
i can see its beak and no movement. since this is our first hatch, we're not easily able to say "oh, yes--that's a problem, let's intervene." but it seems like this would have been a time to do it--if you're not against it for other reasons. ugh! poor little guy.
