Help? Chick in a hurry!

[Giftherz]

First time hatching on my own. We did it when I was a kid but I don't remember specifics, just thought it neat. Anyways...

This little guy/gal poked through, zipped and busted out in what I would say was an hour. Zipping to out was like 10~ minutes. Is the white/yellow on them of concern or normal? Our first hatchling came out without us knowing and didn't appear to have any of this residue.

That's normal. Just a little goop from inside the egg. If it doesn't come of on its own just pull it off when they come out of the incubator.

Thanks! It was exciting, my 3 yr old actually got to see it zip and hatch and was so enthralled. I was very hopeful the chick would be fine since heshe is mobile in their 'omg what is going on!' Way.

Yay! Congrats. Hatching chicks is my favorite part of raising birds! Although stressful on my part...............
