Thank you, daxi!!!!!

You are the FIRST person to tell me - everyone is still sleeping in my house lol!!!

Glad to be! Don't feel bad I was on my own at 16 and one year the first birthday wish I got was in the afternoon by the Walmart time clock. That was sad. My sister called that evening but the early part of the day was a dud.

@BantyChooks Well, we were right. I have been asking since about five weeks old if this was a cockrel and I kept hearing hen till you. No question now. Check out the tail.

Good Morning Everyone! 

Mornin Mike, mornin everyone else!

  I never assist. But a zip shouldn't take more than 90 minutes. If its been that way for that long, it probably needs you to assist. Do you need the links?

Yorkshire coop popped up on the Hatchalong thread and told me the same about the 90 minutes...unjust reached and and have a very gentle pull to finish what was left of the zip and now she/he is pushing out on their own!! Thank you!!

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.

I think that in a few days they will be OK, I also had one Aracauna in the same situation malpo. And all the deal, and now see how its look !
