Chicks Not hatched?

[samgwright]

Day 21 was yesterday. We had 6 chicks hatch yesterday (one that was in the incubator overnight). Unfortunately all the other eggs were knocked around and I have no idea what way is up. There is 7 eggs left. These eggs were alive, they had chirping coming out the last two days and Ive seen them moving. They have not pipped.. what do I do now wait and see? Ive heard something about poking a hole in the air side?? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

try giving them a few more hours. if they have not pipped in 12 hours- 24 hours, I would check out the article on assisted hatch.

If there is no external pip I would do a quick candle
Make sure eggs are sitting air cell dip facing up
If there are internal pips you can poke a tiny safety hole the size of the tac pin

How can I tell if there is an internal pip?

I don't think there is an internal pip, thanks for this! Can you confirm with me what you mean by the air cell dip?

It’s when the air cell stats to ho up one side of the egg more
Instead of just a round Circle at the bottom
That part should face up
In my pictures I drew a line of where the air cells are
One is really far up the egg now
That baby has internal pip
The bigger egg is dipping up the side but not as far and has not got internal pip but is in lockdown

Sorry, I feel bad asking a question on someone else's post
But I have a call duck egg in lockdown it is hatch day, day 26, today (she still has not done anything) but when I stopped rolling (i was hand rolling) the side that was up was not the side the air cell was going up
Do I turn her so that the the air cell is up?? Or leave her and not turn her
Thanks for you help and again I am sorry for asking a question on someone else's post

I would turn the egg
She may pip and you won’t see it or she could struggle to pip because it’s upside down
