INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

I was trying to nap when I heard the birth yell. I was very surprised. The chicks were all two or three (or was it four?) days late. This is one day. I saw there was no baby in the incubator when I checked twenty minutes later.
I went down the hall, and was using my phone to talk to you guys when I heard "I'm so tired and scared!" so I wandered down the hall as I typed. It was then I saw the humidity, and had to go.
Humidity was @20!!!!!
The first one was pipped, and I exposed its cute (yes, I was awed, Banti!) bill. I went a little more before checking its sibling. I noticed the pip was on the wrong end. Neither baby responded to the eggs being picked up. You know they should have been loud and wiggling.
I opened it up as you see in the picture. Both went with me to the kitchen for a better look and assist. I was still kinda muddle headed (cough cough) so I made a mistake. I did the first, moistening and exposing. Then the second. When it looked "good enough" I went back to the first, and went too fast. I don't think I killed it or anything. The humidity was already at 57% when I put them back in. I will check again soon.
I can't believe they are both making it!!

Banti, I had wanted to take a picture of a half fluffed baby for you. I am sorry you will have to wait.

BILLS THAT ARE HATCHING THE BURD. HOW PRECIOUS. Come on darlings!!

I can wait, as long as they hurry!

@MotorcycleChick Any progress on the Pekin!

Both are getting there. They should be working their way out, alternating with another assist or two tonight.

This is what happens when you let your guard down in close proximity
of a protective rooster @ bedtime with 5 hens in the coop with him &
you ain't wearing a glove. Good thing I couldn't reach him. No blood
drawn; just a decent blood blister.

Thanks, but at this point, it's a given.
