UPDATE-- video link posted.

Is gasping breathing normal? Most of my other eggs have hatched, this dude is late. He pipped sometime yesterday morning but did not break through the membrane and breathe until this morning. He's been beak out for about 15 hours and the breathing is really rough. He cheeps and rocks the egg a little but isn't making progress. Do I need to assist?

hmm you may need to assist, can you post a picture? 6 of mine have hatched so far and i have yet to see anything like this happen.

Post video to YouTube, Vimeo or such and post the link here. There's another way to do it but I can't explain. BYC does not prohibit, just does not have the software to support, I don't think.
