had a question in reference to babies coming out of eggs....when our first egg of 3 pipped we cut the others....it was day 58...the first one took day and a half to come out...the 2nd just started...but the 3rd seems to have no interest...we have prodded him a little and he is alive....is there a time frame when we shouls start to get worried and offer assistance or just let him when he is ready....i have heard mention of umbilical cord problems....how do you recognize those....what are the signs?

let him go......it takes awhile for some.they are just so comfortable in the egg..

problem belly......you'll see his guts hanging out to put it simply.......

.....good luck.....
