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!
