Pipped, Zipped and Out

[rosco]

scroll down to third post or so for picture. all is good
i've seen many posts on this but now its time and i've forgotten what most recommended.

it pipped sometime between midnight last night and 9am this morning. it is now chirping more and more, at 10PM.

RH is 72%. it is Day 19.5 or 20. humidity reached 50% on day 17 but has been above since. just recently, i brought it from 60% to 72%.

shall i just wait as i had planned? should i spray it w/ warm mist? should i soften egg some other way?

thanks,
rosco

It should do fine. I would leave it alone.

If you have any way to lower that humidity a bit, I would. I have far more problems with humidity too high than too low.

KEWL. just popped open the cotton ball luvers to drop humidity back to 70%. this seems to be an art form more than a science.

this is the only one that will probably hatch. we started off with some very "iffy" eggs.

Thanks,

ps. here is pip in upper left portion of upper left egg

All is kewl. he is about zipping himself out. he starting chirping when he started zipping. he was zipping around the backside of the egg. we couldn't see that part. he is whistling while he works. not crying for help.

thanks all,
rosco & robin

Congrats on the lonely lil chicky. Too bad no others made it!

Congrats on your little chick! One is certainly better than none.
