HELP!! Pipping already at day 18?!

[nat1981]

I hope so! It's abdo does look enlarged, but time will only tell. Still looks 'wet' on its head and body. It was defiantly in a rush to get out!

The wet look could be caused by egg goo stuck to it. I had some like that on my last hatch, when I had humidity issues. Ended up gently washing and drying them so they could fluff properly. That stuff was like glue!

I think it's the outer membrane? And because this one hatched late day 18 things didn't get a chance to do as they should.

Here's a pic of the early one and the one that's attempting zipping now! And it's now day 20.
