Ready Set Hatch! Set 3/17 Hatch 4/7 - ready now! Hatch-Along

GO #10!!!

I just had Si and The Doctor hatch out! I needed to assist Bilbo a bit too. It wasn't moving, and it turned out its beak was cemented to the shell. I just broke away a little shell in the air cell area so I could see what was going on, moistened his beak until the cemented gunk came off (it is STICKY), stretched the membrane around his beak, wrapped him in a moist paper towel and put him back. He's not chirping yet and I do see a tiny bit of blood so I'll leave it for now.

Also need to get a legband on Si, he keeps trying to jump over the barrier!

Edit: And now Adam is zipping!

That's funny - Si must see a friend! Haha. #10 looks just like Baby did upon hatching color and size-wise but has only 4 toes instead if the faverolles 5 as far as I can tell through my wet window. Fiesty too!
 
Yay for #10!!!

The last Basque didn't make it. For some reason it turned, but didn't zip. It was ready though. Bilbo is also still breathing.

I managed to band Si so I stuck all the chicks that are drying into one compartment to try and keep them out of trouble

UPDATE: D'uccle egg is still absorbing, looked good and pulled a bit of membrane away and he started to bleed a bit so I wrapped him back up and put him in the bator. What ya'll think of me calling him Topsy? Lol.
 
Are Millie Fleur D'uccles supposed to be chipmunk patterened? He's got real fluffy feet. But chipmunk :/

Oh and he's about out just resting on part of the shell I left where the "chord" was still attatched, I like for them to seperate themselves so I know they won't bleed to death.
