I would chip away some more of the shell on the top half very carefully with a pair of tweezers to make it easier for her to push herself out of the shell when the time is right seeing she can't really zip it like they usually do. That is just my opinion though.
You are doing a good job at giving her a chance to make it.

I think she looks beautiful already...hope she makes it!

Hi, I have to say, I admire your steadfastness!
If she were mine, I'd continue to keep her warm, and moist. Try not to handle her too much, as too much fluctuation in outside temps can upset things. Just keep in mind, if she's strong enough, she'll chip her way out, but really try to keep things as natural as possble. Good Luck!!!!

Awww, what a sweet little chickie. I am praying she makes it! I can't wait to check back tomorrow

Wow, that last pic is really a nice shot. Good luck!! Rooting for you both

I agree- pull off bits of shell and make it easier to wiggle out- I'd go down to just past the halfway mark.

Make sure she's in humid air- it looks good, still!

This is a happenin' thread!

I really like the name E.T. But only if it's a boy!
She's like a butterfly in a chrysalis...if it's a hen...Butterfly.
