Yea. Use something small that you can control well, can even use finger nail to carefully do it. I believe all you want to do is follow the zip line that the chick was making, you are only trying to remove shell pieces. Again, if you see blood stop and put it back in.Alright so i just take a warm damp towel and place the egg on it? What should i use to break away the shell? Tweezers?
