Help! Bubbles from egg?

[Fields Mountain Farm]

24 hours pipped before zip is not uncommon, and if she did miss the air cell, then it could be an additional 24 hours (they normally breathe the air-cell air for around 24 hours before pipping the shell).

But here's a guide for you, in case you need to assist. Just don't rush it.

You have the best help in WV and Pyxis.
The important thing is not to panic and jump too soon. Keep updating as often as you can with any changes you see.

it looks like she is definitely shrink wrapped and the membrane is stuck to her eye, beak, and wing. I tried to lube her with coconut oil and help, but it looks like there is some yolk yet to be absorbed.

Did I just mess up? Still can't get membrane off eye and wing.

I've not dealt with shrinkwraped chicks.
Keep it lubricated and make sure the humidity is staying up.
Hang in there... I'm sure WV or Pyxis will pop in soon.

Have you read the article WV linked?
I'm sure there is info on shrinkwraped..

If the chick had yolk still to absorb, i would put some paper towel in a cup and then put the chick in there. Coconut oil is great, just apply it and you should be able to get the membrane off after a while.

Yes. I'm reading it. It has been helpful. The little guy couldn't hatch because the membrane dried to his eye and upper body. He was literally stuck. I'm glad I assisted, but there's still gooeyness around bottom of shell and don't want to rush the absorbtion, but need to head to work in a bit. Ahhhh!! Still stuck to parts of the shell. The coco oil is working well.

She's out and absorbed the rest of the yolk. I can home from work and she escaped from cup in bator. She is still weak and trying to move around but is VERY clumsy. Has a hard time keeping head up, but is trying to be active. I hope nothing is wrong with neck.

They are like 'drunken sailors' for the first few hours, she'll get it together.
