Okay so I’ve had some traumatic hatches tonight. Long story short one of my chicks got stuck in the zipping phase ( for hours and hours) everything was unzipped and membrane turning brown/ other 2 chicks unzipped at the same time and hatched fine.
After finishing unzipping the one I realized I had went ahead and pulled it out while the other was pipped .to be fair it had pipped last night.
Long story short , I did my best , I’ve done many many hatches, never assisted. , both assisted hatches have curled toes which I’ve taped and one looks really good and the other , god knows it’s the weaker chicken and the less I do the better at this point but they’re taped .
I feel absolutely sick.
If you’ve never had a chick literally glued to the inside of a membrane, you might just not understand . I know some people will beat me down for helping but it was that or death. Please help me feel better.
