Go Zippie go!!!

 

[Cynthia12]

I mean...any min.!

Ok, any bets on how much longer? I say 20 mins. I take that back...10 mins.

Ok, now 10 mins.

I bet at least another 30 min. She hasn't really zipped around very well.


I'm playing youtube videos of brand new chicks right around the incubator, hoping the chirping will encourage her.

The poor little thing is so tired, keeps stopping to catch it's breath, is breathing pretty fast. They work so hard, and if it could just get that foot on the edge of the egg shell...and push hard! Man, poor chickens, come into the world pushing, and the hens keep on pushing throughout their lives! Most of it anyway as long as they are laying.

Looks like the other one is zipping more now...

Yeah, the original pipper got another chunk free.

Front chick seems like it hasn't zipped enough, and is trying to push open. I haven't watched a TON of eggs hatch, but the ones I did see, it seems like they zipped more instead of trying to HULK SMASH out of the egg.

Have you seen this before?
