Ok opened up the air cell. I covered the membrane in Vaseline to keep it moist. It started peeping so I know its strong still. Lots of heavy veins. Its still yawning so its going to be awhile. Ill reapply some Vaseline as needed. Hopefully it will be ready to hatch by tomorrow morning but we will see.
great job!!
:clap
Looks good. Watch that one vein that goes down the middle. I'd probably try to open up the membrane a little more soon, without ripping that vein, if possible. With the membrane still covering his eyes, be very diligent to keep it moist. You don't want that to stick there. If you decide to wait a while before messing with him more, that vein will get real thin, then you'll be able to part it to each side, and get his head/bill more free.
Then eventually, you will want to chip away the rest of the end of the egg, so that the whole end is open, then when he's ready, he can push right out. :)
x2!!

I like that they stay there too, and not individual pop-ups each time you want to enter one. :ya:ya:ya

That's why he's the coolest. :lol:
lol, and you can type them out like in mobile!

Will work on it. These eggs were shipped so they had a funny shaped air cell. At the top the membrane it very close to the shell. Thats why I decided to stick with where the biggest part of the pocket is. I applied Vaseline under the membrane a little as well around the bill to try to prevent sticking. I've had that happen before with chicks... Hopefully ill be able to keep it moist. Once the veins recede more ill do my best to clear its face a bit more.
