    Chick might need help?

    This egg pipped last night so I left it and assumed it would hatch over night. I came back to the membrane gone from the hole and what looks to be part of the chick.

    Hi. A duck came to nest in our garden a while ago. She was very camouflaged and didnt know she was there for a long time. Sadly she abandoned the nest, we left the eggs outside for about 2 days hoping she'd return but didn't, so we've taken them in. I've recently been incubating the eggs and...

    Disclaimer: this is my first time raising and hatching quails. Last night around 7-8 pm (day 17 of lockdown), one of our eggs in the incubator was zipping and I could see its beak. I then went to bed believing it would get itself out eventually. Fast forward to 1pm the next day, I noticed it...
