Cockatiel egg?

Question

I have a cockatiel egg that was abandoned by the parents. The baby should be ready to hatch and is chearping to get out and the top of the egg got smashed a little. It has not hatched for hours but it is trying. Should I help it?

Answer 1

umm.

the best thing to do is to wait about 10 more minutes and then if no progress at all, then peel a peice off of where he has already cracked it.

tell me about it once you do that.

Answer 2

NO, you shouldn't touch it!!  If you try and help it out of the egg, you could break a blood vessel and it will bleed to death and then you've killed the chick.  Don't touch it, let it be and just keep it in a warm place.  

Why do people answer something they know nothing about??
