Day 21 and no signs

[MediGirl1987]

No, I am going to leave them in there for 24hrs, they are not quite dry yet so I will wait. If at 24 hrs they are dry and none of my other eggs have pipped yet, then I will take them out. They can last 3 days in there so I am not too worried.

It's only day 19 how long once there's a peep hole does it take? Because now I won't be able to leave the incubator!

it can take 24 hrs. the pip hole only means the chick wanted air, but it is Still full of yolk right now. no need to help!

I just replied on the other thread, it's a malpositioned chick. It's pipped on the wrong end :/

don't help for 24hrs, then anytime you see blood stop. This little black chick was also mal-positioned



I waited though... he is fine now.

Did he make it out on his own? It's such a fine line as when to help or not

With mal-positions you wait extra long, because they usually pip,( not in your case) but too soon and a mal-positioned is bloodier because of unabsorbed yolk and a big belly button. I waited on the green egg but it did need help after the 24hrs, but his yolk had been absorbed by then and was not bloody.
