Miracle in the Incubator: How 7 Chicks Emerged from Just 12 Eggs Against All Odds!
At about 12:30 p.m., as I was driving home, I received a call from Angela. Upon answering, I hear, “It’s out! What do I do?!”
I was ecstatic. I was truly getting worried that this bird was going to die in that shell. Every hour that had gone by was full of wondering if I should do anything else and, if so, what and how much? “Helping” a chick hatch is a big no-no, according to all sources. Basically, you only assist if the choice is to help, or let the bird die. And then, you do the absolute minimum – just enough to allow the bird to break itself out. I was dead tired from having sat up and watched that egg well into the wee hours of the morning.
