The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[chirpingcricket]

??Question to anyone available??
This chick that's hatching, seems to be doing well, so far. Curious, the white membrane itself looks paper thin enough, however noticed that the actually membraned seems to be detaching clean from the egg shell as well? Is that normal? Humidity to high or low? Just wondering. It doesn't seem to be sticking to the chick. Thanks!

How far along is the chick?

 

[Shellz]

If he's almost out, I wouldn't worry about it. It can take 24 hours + from pip to zip sometimes.

Oh good! Sally is here!

Oh geez, I'm so glad to see you! I've followed your hatching threads religously! I've got a couple of shots. See if I can upload. Meanwhile, it's beak is showing. It's peeped center to the left and bottom and is now back at center heading to the right. The white membrane looks papery. It''s chirping and breathing and resting OK so far. Just wondered it I should make any adjustments for the other eggs, which are medium and large compared to the little EE/Wyandotte new hen eggs. Also, I forgot, that I have a staggered range of dates. I held the for a few days until I had a bator about full. Hopefully, that will answer the timeline fears. Thanks so much!!!

Hey, the 1st and second pictures, the beginning, the last 3 to this point. I can see it's little yellow beak. Looks like part of it's wing might be covering it's eyes? Hard to get a good picture through the bator. Again, whew, thanks so much for responding!

Quote: when was his first pip do remember? and how long ago since he started zipping?


remember they pip rest for a looooongggg time up to 24+ hours and then finally they will zip and usually zip pretty fast in like an hour or so. IF YOU DIDNT ASSIST THEM ALONG, sorry always have to add that, alot of people pick at pips and dont realize there is a rest time for them and then they make for chicks hatching assisted and with navel issues : (
