You said yourself that the little one is "lively" in the egg. That would indicate to me that it's healthy and should have no trouble pipping and emerging on its own. If it were me, I would let them all pip on their own. I'm one of those odd balls that consider pipping to be an important milestone that shouldn't be bypassed just because of impatience, though.
Because you and heather have helped me on so many of my posts
I shall wait to pipp.
I promise its not impatience that's making me want to cut.
But this is true.
Livelyness does indicate health.
And true. Pipping in birds is essential as well because it means and makes the birds neck capable of something something... I don't remember.
But I'm sure the same rule applies slihtly in BP's as well.
Thanx! I'll post pics soon of the first little dudes to pipp... Hopefully soon!
