Bebop has bebopped her way out the shell! She is an Easter egger crossed with my roo. @Smokerbill

@Gazergirlstar Here she comes!! Her siblings helped her out by pecking at her toes, lol. I think they actually helped her get through some of that membrane and shell, so I didn’t have to!! Welcome to the world little girl!!!

She does look like she has some membrane and goo stuck to her back. Is that something I should do about that, or just let it be for now? I have a feeling her many siblings might pick that away for her.

Oh my goodness welcome to the world little one ! You and your siblings are so loved already

I usually just leave it until they come out. Once in the brooder, you can pick it off or add a couple drops of water to it if it's dried on. Regardless, it'll fall off in a day or two.

Nice looking chick!

I’m a little worried about this one. Some of the chicks were pecking at it, and it looks like it started to bleed. This isn’t too much blood is it? I can still see its beak in there moving around, so it hasn’t died.

I'd say leave it a while and see. Which egg is it?
Come on pebble, you can do this!!!
How far along is pebble?

It is hard for me to see her egg at the moment because it is dead center of the bator and surrounded by chicks! But looks like I can see a beak and a nicely sized pip hole! I bet she is resting before she zips

Have you taken any chicks out of the brooder yet?

 

[Smokerbill]

Last hatch I did there were two that pipped and were then silent until 24 hours later, when they decided to quickly zip and exit their shells.

I haven’t yet - should I at this point? I’ve swiped some of the spent shells that were easy to grab. But I’ve not grabbed any chicks yet
