Hello!
I need some advice, this little bantam Orpington chick started hatching about 24hours ago, maybe 20 hours ago from when I noticed the initial Pip.
It’s not gotten far but I can hear it in there chirping.
Should I help! I’ve helped in other batches and I really don’t want to open this incubator.
This sounds silly, but it’s currently 12pm, I start work at 2 and finish at 11pm tonight, I was thinking if it didn’t get any further I’d help it once I get home from work.
Whenever I do help, it’s always only ever so slightly so the chick does most of the work, and I’m really paranoid because I’ve had plenty in the past where I was adamant that I wouldn’t help, and they’ve died in the shell and when I’ve opened the shell they are perfect & I wished I had helped.
Urgh! Such a fine line!
I’m just concerned because this one has taken so long and not gotten very far at all.
