Thanks everyone and Serrin you are funny! But right! I could not believe it when I candled and there was the internal pip. Here I was walking casually up the stairs just shaking my head over the egg thinking "hmmmm I wonder when it quit?"
So it is in the bator peeping but hasn't made any more progress pipping.
I opened up the end of the egg to see if it was dying (but only a little) So I may have to help this one out. I can see it in there and it is moving really well and I am hoping it will start zipping soon.
If it stops wiggling, then I am going to take it out and help. I KNOW I should have left it alone, but they all seem to die in the shell and I wanted it to get some oxygen. Ahhhh.
Anyway I don't know what to do about the broodie. When can I shift her to see what is going on? She did change positions and she is not in that weird zombie stage anymore. She is alert!
There are 4 eggs under her and other than hearing a peeping I can't see a thing. Any suggestions? Oh, and should I let her rear the chicks or do it myself.
I am worried that she will go crazy and kill them (I have heard of that before) I have some other chicks hatching today too so I could give her a few of those...?
Or will she do a better job?
Questions, questions questions!
