For some reason, every batch of eggs we've ever hatched from our Gals have a very difficult time hatching past the pipping stage - due to VERY thick outer membranes...
They hold everything intact, and then the inner membrane dries and "shrink-wraps" the baby....
We have 30 in the Bator, 2 have hatched, but 8 more only got to "pip" stage by noon today--
it is now nearly 9 hours later, they are moving slightly, a few have stopped chirping, and all have dried membranes...
we started to help , but stopped, as some bleding started...
(I know many people are against helping at all-- and I do not want to start anything-- we just have always had t help a bit 'cuz of this membrane issue)
We already raised the humidity.... what else can/ should we do???
