live chicks > NYD chickesthe BCM with the lesser broken shell hatched with no problems on its own. The one with the badly broken shell looked like it was struggling for air, so I chipped off shell with out hurting the membrane to find the beak, couldn't, so broke through the membrane. The head was until legs, I think it couldn't position itself because of the lack of shell, so I helped it a little, left it in the rest of the shell. It's breathing better but I don't know if it will make it. The final one has pipped as well, so no new year chicks for me!
