1st Hatch! Help!

[chickens really]

They are the same no pips at all, no movent, today is day 24, and I just realized that the one that I broke open is backwards in its shell.

Possibly those have stopped then......That's too bad...
You have 3 live Chicks which is fantastic......

Might be time to give up on those?.....

I did eggtopsies on two of them one of them died a few days ago and the other one (the one that I broke open) tried to pip but didn't get through the back of the shell and ran out of oxygen. i water candled the other one and it is still viable and then i felt it move should i do anything

What happened??

Sorry, again the internet was down.....Did it hatch?

 

[Burbs03]

I think it is ------ when i got home today and it didn't reply to me and it still hasn't hatched or internally pipped, i decided that it was dead. I decided to do an eggtopsy (It was very close to being shrink wrapped), so I got almost all of the egg shell off parts of it started to bleed, and it bled a little bit, so i put mineral oil on it and put it in plastic wrap in a cup, then i put some plastic wrap over it with some holes in the top. Will it be ok? i really hope I didn't kill that chick.

It died, i am going to hatch more.---------On a happier note, my little chicks already have wing feathers!

No problem ....The next time you incubate ask for advise on the incubator your using and what the proper setting should be....You will get lots of great advise......
