scared to death

My spellchecker is totally messing up my posts ugh I'm in such a hurry typing is my problem. Do you think the chirper is ok? I thought it was ok to water candle as long *** no external pips?

I can't find much on the topic. I was told that you candle first and make sure there was no internal pips as well, but you know how "advice" goes on the threads. lol I've heard and been warned about alot of things that aren't neccessarily true....lol If he's peeping I think that's a pretty darn good sign...lol I try not to foreward advice I am not sure about or haven't experienced. So I can't say if it's just as a precaution or if there really is a risk.

Maybe I should start a new thread about that specific topic. ...you've been a huge help thank you for everything!

You're welcome.

The internal peeper has to develope her lungs before she breaks out of the shell. She is also absorbing the yolk and retracting the blood from the veins /membrane. She won't emerge until shes ready. And sadly she may not make at all. Very rarely will a chick be strong enough to survive if we interfere with the hatch. I didn't say assist, I said interfere. I will assist if the external pip is open for more than 12hrs or so. That little peeper overcame some big hurdles to get this far. Hopefully shes strong enough to finish the hatch. Good luck

She's been tapping at the shell all day (I can hear her) but still no external pip the waiting is SO HARD!
