Hatch complete. 6 white bantam cochins and 2 sizzles. I helped one of the cochins out this morning. He pipped early yesterday, but hadn't made any progress since. When I checked the egg, he had cracked the shell, but had not punched through the inner membrane. As soon as he heard me tapping, he started peeping. I removed the top 1/4 of his shell and put him back in the bator where I'm going to let him "finish" his hatch on his own. I didn't want to completely separate him from the egg prematurely. I'll be posting pics of everyone in a couple of days when they're at their absolute fuzziest cuteness!
