pipping but no zipping...

See my reply above. We had 4 that had pipped for over 24 hours (probably closer to 48 hours) so we decided to help them along last night. 3 of them were up and running around today. I never thought I'd agree to intervene but it saved their lives. They were shrink wrapped and would never have gotten out without help.

Read this thread if you decide help the chicks out.

Today is day 23...I think I will pull the hatched chicks out and candle the rest to see. Thanks for the input!
