Help! day 23 and a chirping egg PICS ADDED!

[ilikethedesert]

It's not really translucent. I can see parts just can't tell what they are. Going to try wet paper towel. I've read that, too. How do I add pics?


Thanks you guys! M one hatchling is cheering it on!

It's churping and moving but doesn't seem to be able to get through the membrane. Some parts are translucent and some transparent. I added water and wrapped it in a wet towel. Any thing else I can do?

It is partially shrink wrapped. See the parts to the right that look like tissue? That is dry membrane. The rest is moist. Add water to the bator and let it be til morning.

I want you know also that if it doesn't make, there is nothing you did wrong. That egg looks really good but for the small part of dried membrane. Not too much blood either. Glad you stopped when I told ya too!!!!!

Oh, thank you. You are a good chicken midwife. I appreciate your help. I'll hope for the best. Poor little thing.

Chicken midwife LOL!!!! That is cute. We shall see what the morning brings. What time zone are you in? I am on the west coast.

I'm on the east coast. It doesn't look good to me though. The membrane is moist and it's breathing, but not moving. So sad. I can see that it would never have gotten out on it's own though.

I believe you are right about that. Is the inner membrane punctured? It should be so it can breathe.
