eaglegal: "On Sunday afternoon it had externally pipped at the wrong end of the egg and was placed in the hatching unit. Since it had skipped the internal pipping and it was malpositioned, we knew it was going to be a while for it to hatch and that it would most likely need assistance. Pete tried to encourage the chick to rotate towards the right direction but it had gotten stuck on the internal egg membrane so it wasn’t able to keep turning. Pete had to assist several times during this process and last night it was finally out of the egg, 54 hours after it made a hole on the egg."
