Here is a pix I took years ago while I was assisting a baby trapped in the shell.

Having to do an assist hatch is so tedious and so much can go wrong...knowing when to step in at just the right time, what to use in doing so, etc....

In south FL there are certain times of the year if you don't assist a hatch you lose them.
Many many years ago I did an article on assist hatching for AFA Watchbird magazine. Here is a link to a more recent and very updated article...
Assist Hatches - Just Cockatiels!
What a FANTASTIC article you did!!!!!!WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have tried before (long time before I had internet!) and lost.....
Billis Faye....Thanks!
I'm still working on a few illustrations to add to the article....such as some line drawing to show the air cell size and what to look for, and what the changes mean.
And I keep the digital camera on hand just in case I have some odd hatches, etc.

Not to keep "knocking on your door" but ANYTHING like this article you would like to start a new thread with and EDUCATE us would so much be appreciated....
I so want people with your experience to help others coming up and passing on the information...when I started some 20 years ago, there were breeder who guarded their knowledge like Ft. Knox and wouldn't help people who were trying to learn but inexperienced...so a lot of people learn on their own and can really go down the wrong road or learn from someone who doesn't have a lot of GOOD knowledge with up dated information...This is why so many of us want to share and help others and are always looking for more information from people such as yourself!

Hille Faye...first off is this a new forum? I had not heard of it until a couple days ago.
Like you when I first started none of the other breeders were willing to impart with any of their knowledge or experience. So much of my knowledge has been from my own mistakes. My cockatiels have taught me well.
I am a cockatiel breede, but alot of info can apply to ither species. If you look at this page: Articles From The Nestbox - Just Cockatiels! I have several articles NITE: Many are incomplet or still have to be uploaded.
And for thise that have tiels I have this album: Babies In Trouble Articles From The Nestbox - Just Cockatiels! In things to watch for in the nest.
My best tool has always been the digital camera to document anything and everything related to what species I breed.
