Minor emergency with humidity...help!

@MeepBeep They may be a bit behind, but they haven't quit. They're both still growing and moving, and one of them internally pipped this morning!

No way! Really? Can you hear it chirping??

I guess they don't always chirp when they internally pip. Someone on another thread has an internal pip but no chirping either. Keep me posted!

I can almost always get them to chirp and hear it once they internally pip by placing them next to my ear and tapping on the airsack end of the egg with my nails...

@MeepBeep it almost looks like the chick is struggling against the membrane and hasn't yet broken through it. I cant really see the beak shape clearly. Ill attach a photo, but I added more water to get it more humid. Is it through yet, and if not is it normal?

That's a big chick!
