This egg was alive and movement on day 25/26
But no pip so I didn't assist
On day 27 we gave up no movement seen so opened it up
As an assisted hatch just incase we saw movement but sadly not

I had two incubators running but the chicks only hatched in one of them
We later found out the temp was too low in the other one, the didgital display was out by 4 degrees ,

In all the other egg the chick was tiny and problem died at day 8-12 ish
Wonder why this chick managed to grow then died?

This is a big deal for me, my husband did the eggtopsy but I watched, I never thought I'd ever in a million years be able to do this
I'm toughening up! :lol:
 
I cant really add much to this, but I can tell you that if the temp is off then it can take a few extra days to hatch, as growth is slowed. Having said that this chick hadn't absorbed its 'sac' and it wouldn't have survived anyways.
