Mamma gave up on eggs too early!

Still no pips. I’m getting a little worried now.

maybe you should take a candle ? If its still wiggling and your sure it internal pipped 2 days ago you might need to help. I would put a small air hole in the air cell

I did candle again because I was worried it died. It was wiggling around, so it’s still alive. I’m not sure anymore if it has internaly pipped anymore. There is a bulge in the membrane, but I’m not sure if it is the beak. It seems too wide to be a beak. And there is a chance I heard one of the silkie chicks and thought it was the egg. She has grown some since last candle.

Thats such a hard thing to do though

I put her up to my ear and I definitely heard her peep. It was very soft. Should I create a tiny safety hole just to make sure she is getting oxygen? I feel like she might not be getting enough oxygen

I think I’m going to do it. I don’t think there is much harm as long as I’m gentle and take my time. I have read the assisted hatching thread many, many times.

Ok. I made a little safety hole to make sure she has enough oxygen.

She’s peeping a lot! I think she’s getting ready for the big hatch!

Excellent! Many people make them too large. That's just right.
