Hello,

I have a question about eggs hatching. This is our first time we have eggs that are coming out.. the first one came out of the egg in 2 days. But the second one is still busy to come out. Its now day 4 and he still is not fully out of the egg. What is the best thing i can do? Help him or leave him?
Thanks.

I recommend leaving him, he should be able to get out on his own at this point. You don't want to risk injury.

Check him to make sure he isn't stuck to the inside of the egg shell. I have had that happen many times and the struggle to get out. All of my babies are out by 4 days, so he may be having some issues with the shell. Carefully pick him up and see. His egg sack should be getting smaller by now and he should be about ready to start walking. If the shell appears to be stuck, carefully hold him under some warm water and work some moisture back in there to get the shell to let loose.
