Good morning everyone!
Woke up to six more chicks in the bator!
Unfortunately, two have some issues. :(
One had the membrane and shell stuck to her backside pretty good. She was the earliest pip, a malpo as well.
Assisted a bit last evening by chipping some of the shell off around the intended zip, wet the membrane with q tip as much as I could, then wrapped in warm wet paper towel.
She managed to push out, but the remains were glued to her back.
Gave her a gentle bath with some warm water and she's running around the bator now.

The second one hatched on its own, but either hadn't fully absorbed, or tore the umbilical, and was covered in blood. She is segregated in her own little clear tupper wear bowl in the hatcher.
The bleeding has stopped, but she will definitely need a rinse if she survives.
She does get up and move around fairly well in her little bowl when I shine the flashlight through the bator window, so I am hopeful at this point. :fl
