November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

[Heidisgran]

Just got my first peeper around 2:30, all she has done is crack the shell and hasnt flaked any peices off just checked again hear her a little bit but doesnt seem like shes trying to get out should i just flake off little peice to see how the membrane is doing?\

NO....after pipping it could be up to 36 hrs before they are ready to hatch....pipping just gives them air....you mess with the shell you could cause the membrane to dry!!!! sit on your hands

well i checked again and a tiny piece came off revealing a little hole, but the membrane is now drying should i wrap it in a damp papertowel or will that drown the chick?

if it would make you feel better just quickly stick and damp paper towel in the incubator to raise the humidity...I swear it sounds like it's doing a great job...if it's knocking off shell then you'll probably meet soon
