Just Hatched Trio

[Isaac 0]

Even with a towel that is completely soaked to the point where if you pinch it it's wet?

Pulling it away now.

Probably not as much, but it's going to chill the egg.

Probably not as much, but it's going to chill the egg.

It was warm water, feels as warm as the incubator right now.
Still pulled it off

This was the first one popping out.

Thanks for sharing i love watching them hatch

6 of 8 out. The one I expected to have trouble did, the membrane was just dry enough. I held shell and gave its bill a leverage point and out it popped no other issues.
7 may be coming sooner than later.
Still no peeps or pip from 8. I suspect it might be a late hatch.

7th is out. One egg left that hasn't pipped yet.

Dabbing eggs with exposed membrane with water to stave off shrinkwrapping... Have two that are being stubborn and we're about 30 hours through the 24-48 after pip. I noticed the membrane getting a little leathery near the pip.

One seemed VERY happy to receive half a drip of water and drunk it right up. (this was on accident not really intended... but when you're wetting the membrane and the bill is there it's pretty easy to drip)

Any suggestions? I can see one's bill and both are peeping. They're both very alive and responsive to anything outside just haven't seemed to put up the effort to come out yet.

towel is wet just before the point of dripping to help keep moisture up. It is lukewarm to match the incubator too. Probably around 80% humidity in the incubator right now.
