Is this common? I went out there and found an egg with a hole in it while mom was off doing her business around the yard. She's brooded fake eggs and fostered chicks without issue before but never hatched her own.
Do I need to pull them and put them in an incubator to finish hatching? The other 4 haven't pipped and their hatchdate is actually tomorrow.
Does this fellow have a chance - I squeezed some warm water in there to moisten the membrane and put him back in the nest (it's 110F out there so he's plenty warm enough without mom for now). If she doesn't go back to sit I've fired up the incubator for him.
