I have a bantam Cochin/EE egg cross hatching right now what do I do? The egg is hatching in the middle is that a problem? He/she is very loud and boisterous she knows my voice she gets louder when I'm closer. What about ventilating the incubator? I couldn't find a humidity meter anywhere so I put two small containers of water in the incubator. Any help I would be grateful I thought the bantam eggs had died I was just waiting to be sure.
 
If you don't have a proper hygrometer , your goal is to have the viewing windows foggy. That's when you know your humidity is high enough. As for your other question, it is perfectly normal for them to hatch from the side. Good luck and I hope it goes well. Can you post a picture of it's progress?

Unfortunately I dont know I had thought my bantam eggs had died because they were dark and showed no movement. But couldn't bring myself to throw them away so I left them in the incubator. Apparently I was wrong about at least one. The hole looks like a little crack with a tent of shell to make like a blow hole.

Its the little sliver crack mark X under the darker pencil mark X.
