Alright, we hear peeping! This means the chick has pipped the inner membrane right? Whats next? External Pip?

Yep, next its an external pip, then hours of torture waiting for it to start zipping.

You're going to have to find a friend for your lone little one. Chickens really need their flock growing up.

We went to the Feed Store today and bought 3 RIR chicks to keep him/her company. There were originally A LOT more eggs in the bator so this wasn't planned.
