Hello all
I have incubated eggs hatching
One egg has been worked at for 13 hrs and was making good progress until it suddenly stopped
The chick's beak is visible and it is breathing regularly, and the beak opens and shuts rapidly every 5-10 mins.
Do chicks go to sleep at some point in the pipping stage, or has something else happened
I never thought chicks drifted off to sleep in the middle of pipping, but maybe its a regular occurance...?
I am a novice at incubating, so suggestions will be welcome.
