I've taken 4 out of the shell as they were shrink wrapped from a combination of a (lying) humidity gauge gone rogue and shipped eggs (my own eggs didnt shrink wrap this badly). I haven't been in the shower with this many chicks since... well... college probably. LOL.
Anyway, the 3 that have been out for a while now are doing great, the 3rd I might have to band aid the legs together but it's still early. That one was pipped and halfway zipped for over 24 hours. The one that I just forced out is screaming and kicking around in the bator. Another 30 minutes or so til it's fluffed and ready to go to the brooder.
Good luck and keep us posted on your Shelly's.
