You're going to get different answers from different people, but I'm in the "no assist, no cull" campDid anyone here have to assist with any of the eggs they were hatching? The second batch of eggs I put in after taking part in this HAL were shipped eggs, so I was expecting some issues with them. I have 6 that made it to lockdown on Sunday and 1 with an external pip this morning on Day 22. I'm trying to keep the humidity up as much as I can since they all had much larger air sacs going into lockdown than the ones I hatched in March, but I think maybe I'm not keeping it high enough.
I'm kinda of the mind to not assist at all, for fear of causing damage & having to cull a chick because of it. But I also don't want to let a chick die that could have live perfectly healthily if I did step in to assist a little bit. I guess I'm just looking for any tips from someone that went through this recently.
