YAY!!!!

Is the other Thadd baby still zipping?

Yes it is still working so I would rather it get out on it's own it possible, I do have 2 more eggs that I am waiting on to pip, but they still have lots of time.

Sorry about the losses...so sad

I'm so glad you got Zephyr babies and a Louis one...he seems to be a hard one for people to hatch! Looking forward to photos!

Thought we should revive this thread guys!! I have started the process of helping my lone Thaddeus baby hatch this morning. My gut told me to go in especially after hearing how another person with my eggs lost 5 babies last night by not helping soon enough. The baby seems fine and strong, just so very tiny and was shrink wrapped.

Brinsea!!! I can't even trust that now.... There is no way it would have ever been able to pip the shell. I should have a baby by tonight! It is all black, right down to its beak. It is Contessa's baby

Mainly gut instinct Kelsey. I've been through this a lot with my hatches so I know what to look for and usually make the right call about when to step in. It was already a very tiny egg so I knew the baby was going to be extremely tiny - they usually have a harder time hatching. I have never had one not pip before day 21 (today) so last night I candled and found that it had pipped internally I left it, upped the humidity and hoped it would be pipped this morning - it wasn't so I broke the shell and gave it fresh air to breathe. It is so tiny. There is no way it would have pipped through the shell. It is a slow process but I will have a baby by tonight

The other two seem to be late quitters but I will check them later. I cannot see any movement in them which is not a good sign.

Amazing how accurate our gut instincts usually are. I'll be thinking of you guys today!

The second egg internally pipped before I left for the morning. I came back, helped them both hatch a little more because they were kicking at the shells. They both died within minutes of each other.

I am completely devastated. It feels like it did when I lost Thaddeus last month.

I am, however, thankful for Abraxas. Thadd will live on through him and his babies.
