So how many have hatched with out a problem ?
 
If the membrane is sticking to it, it's not going to be able to hatch by itself, or not without difficulty. Take a wet Q-tip and carefully dampen the membrane, also try and get under the membrane and wipe the chick's down to loosen the membrane. Keep wiping the membrane every now and then to keep it damp until the chick is ready to hatch.
 
i hope none of the others are srin raped my silkies membrane looks white she has pip only about 1 hour and a half ago i cant see the others membrane becouse the shell is covering it but there cracked is that good its only day 21
 
I had to assist two eggs and they all hatched theres still one in the incubator it hasnt internally pip but its wiggling i have 5 chicks out of 7 eggs one chick hatched but died soon after i have 1 polish 1 pekin 1 silkie he said i have 2 black orps but im not sure what they are :)
