@snitz427 how are the eggs doing?

So far so good! I have been checking on them more regularly as we are getting closer. I have not given them a significant temp drop so I hope that they will do alright without one.

@kinyonga I’ve uploaded it to Youtube instead. Thanks!

We having babies!?!?

There’s a tail sticking out of one egg, that wasnt there yesterday. Hope they make it out ok since they’re backwards.

 

[JacksJill]

Did it turn and go back in?

Omg do they really do that!? Our water went out yesterday so no showers in this house... so its entirely possible he turned around and changed his mind.

It seems some people have had this but the chams still hatched after day two. I hope so.

 

[JacksJill]

I was mostly kidding but I have seen them pull their heads back in.
Maybe he saw the calendar and realized it was still 2020.

Do you think they are all backwards??? When thy are backwards so to speak you need to be careful...sometimes they can't breath and don't make it.
Is the tail out the side of the egg or the end?

Only one egg has pipped. It seems the tail is out of the end of the egg. Should I wait or interfere?

I should grab a magnifying glass - its so tiny it is hard to tell whats happening.

 

[kinyonga]

I only had one where the tail was sticking out...but it was different than yours cause the head was all out the other end. I had to help it out because both ends of the egg where open and it had nothing to push against to get out. This would concern me about yours too but the problem is to determine when to help it and to determine whether the head being not exposed to air, can it breath. I wish I could give you a real answer. This is just food for thought and you'll have to fighpure it out. Sorry.

I grabbed some round tipped tweezers and gently touched the opening to get an idea of whats going on. It reacted, so i left it be. It seems like it may have pipped above the tail, too...or at least tried to, as I see a bulge about the size of a head. Very hard to see, even with a jewelers loupe. I decided to leave it be and I will check on it in the morning. Its so tiny, Im concerned about injuring it while trying to assist. Lets hope its out running a muck tomorrow.

 

[kinyonga]

Good luck.
