oiled and peeled back the membrane hoping by chance I was wrong and it was just being still. . no luck. Wow it just didn't have any space left at all. Safety hole didn't help I guess because it couldn't extend its bill beyond the membrane. The tip was literally right up against the inside of the shell poor baby
BUT it's a risk opening them up also so at least it's a learning experience.

I have one I think is heading that way. Not sure how to know and react to that problem though. I see no movement and it's full.

Ok... well they're trying to scramble out but still have some yolk in the bottom so I have them propped the best i can.
The one isn't as close to the element as it looks... I soooo hope this works
