This is agonizing

What a precious Christmas present

I helped my chicks out all the time. None ever became cripple or died as the result. They all seem behaving normally growing up. I put on surgical gloves and remove the chick as quick and careful as I can. I then put the chick in the "ICU bed" I made to prevent other chicks to peck at it and put the bed back into the bator for it to dry.

I'm so glad your little chick is out.

It's such a cute little thing too!

Congratulations, you and the little peep did a fantastic job! I love his little price tag in the first pic "39.99" lol

Lol, I'm doing my first hatch now and just had to throw out 20 of 24 eggs and I don't have much hope for the last 4, but if 1 hatches, it'll be a very expensive chick too!

Thanks everyone.
I didn't notice the price tag.

Considering I've invested most of the last two day in the little squirt. (I played hooky from work yesterday), It probably cost 5 times that much. But it's worth it.

Here is the proud papa

and mom

Again, I would like to thank you all for the moral support and encouragement.
What a friendly and welcoming place this is.

As promised, (or threatened), here's the time lapse video of the hatching.
