The one that was peeping Sunday morning, was hatched on Monday morning by 7am.. I helped it a little by pipping some of the way around the egg.. This ONE I have been hearing since late Monday I think.. Between yesterday and this morning, it hasn't been peeping as much or as loud.. So hopefully I have done the right thing by pipping.. Well, it's obvious I did since it had pipped the membrane. It's probably been pipped since yesterday sometime. It was probably suffocating. So thanks for the PM.. Otherwise I would have let it go thinking it would pip when ready.. And I still may have to get it out anyway. My heart is racing!! It's so tuff knowing when to help and when to stand back...

Any word on this guy or are you going to try when you get home from work?

Been busy today: I FINALLY have a living room couch... been living off really uncomfortable hand-me-down wicker furniture in there (not like I really watch TV or movies or even have friends over, but still...) for so long!​

got dsqard's pic and comments. Sounds like everyone had a good experience with the hatch.

Anyone else a first timer?

He is still peeping.. I am going to try and do a little more with it when I get home. Last I checked, I tugged at the membrane a little and it bled so I stopped. I've made two trips home since lunch...

I may as well leave early.. But I don't want to rush it, as long as it's still breathing. It kept throwing it's head back like it was trying to pip, of course I had chipped away the shell in that area. I hope that wont hurt anything. Maybe he can still rotate to zip...

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

I'm going to guess you're going to have to excise it... once it absorbs the blood.
