Quote: THis is a learning curve-- to understand what is a full blood vessel v. one that is emptied . . . . you are on your w ay to being a learned assitant hatcher. You can cover with a wet tissue and wait, so it doean't dry out.

THis maybe day 21 by our counting system but if the temp was slightly low, the chick is not ready based on the bleeding blood vessel.
