Ok it is definitely breathing and trying to move around. Do u think there would actually be "in and out" breathing if he hadnt internally piped yet?

OK ready now, Let me know when he is out, he can ONLY be out 30 minutes at a time.

you see every breath he takes he inhaling that gooey stuff, adventurally it will sufficate him. Will try to clear him up before that happens but no guarantee.

Ok just to confirm, im peeling away at the shell around the air cell only right?

 

[Lacrystol]

with that gooey stuff all around him, what it does is it cools the egg down REALLY quickly so its important that we do not keep him out long

[Lacrystol]

Let me know when his out, I will keep track of your time, I do NOT want you to rush at all. Take your time, if we don't get far this round it's OK will get further in the next round
